  • Title: Yokenella regensburgei necrotizing fasciitis in an immunocompromised host.
    Author: Wright WF, Utz JL, Bruckhart C, Baghli S, Janda JM.
    Journal: J Infect Chemother; 2019 Oct; 25(10):816-819. PubMed ID: 31003955.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of necrotizing skin infection caused by Yokenella regensburgei in an immunosuppressed patient with orthotopic liver transplantation. Initial bacterial culture identification was suggestive of Hafnia alvei. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) confirmed identification of Y. regensburgei. Necrotizing fasciitis is potentially fatal and requires aggressive management, including early diagnosis, appropriate antibiotic selection, and operative debridement.
