Resumen

Presentamos un caso de infección del tracto urinario inferior no complicada por Corynebacterium striatum en una paciente ambulatoria y sin factores de riesgo predisponentes. C. striatum es una bacteria saprofita de la piel y las mucosas, que se ha relacionado ocasionalmente con la infección en pacientes hospitalizados o inmunodeficientes con enfermedades subyacentes. Concluimos que este microorganismo debe considerarse un patógeno emergente, tanto en pacientes inmunodeficientes como en inmunocompetentes.

Abstract

We herewith report the first case of uncomplicated urinary tract infection due to Corynebacterium striatum in an ambulatory patient without any other predisponent risk factors. C. striatum is a ubiquitous saprophyte of human skin and mucous membranes, which has been occasionally associated with infection in patients hospitalized or immunocompromised patients with underlying diseases. We conclude that C. striatum should be considered an emerging pathogen in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts.

Keywords:
