Urinary Tract Infection by Enterobacter sakazakii: A Case Report

Enterobacter sakazakii is considered a rare yet extremely important cause of enterocolitis and may lead to a necrotizing condition. Central nervous system and blood infections with this type of organism will be fatal, with a mortality rate of as much as 40 - 80%.

Our case report is a 31-month-old boy with a history of posterior urethral valves surgery presented to the emergency department with a history of dysuria, dribbling, and a 24-hour history of fever, chill, and anorexia. The case had a urinary tract infection diagnosis with E. sakazakii.

E. sakazakii can cause bacteremia, meningitis, and necrotizing enterocolitis, but E. sakazakii causes rare literature about urinary tract infection (UTI).We have reported a rare Enterobacter sakazakii infection in the present study.
