Achromobacter xylosoxidans also known as Alcaligenes xylosoxidans is a Gram-negative bacillus found in water and soil. It is an uncommon cause of infection in immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. This report describes a 47-year-old female diagnosed with common variable immunodeficiency with Achromobacter xylosoxidans positive blood cultures and acquired resistance to piperacillin/tazobactam during treatment. This bacterium can cause pathologies with high mortality, due to its ability to create biofilms and its particular pattern of susceptibility to antibiotics. Choosing the right antibiotic is critical because they are highly resistant to antibiotics. Due to the presence of few antibiotics with bactericidal activity, the risk of empirical treatment failure is high and therefore a correct understanding of this rare but fatal disease is important to obtain the best chance of success. For this reason we finally carried out a literature review.

Chryseobacterium Gleum

Chryseobacterium gleum is a lactose nonfermenting Gram-negative bacillus (NFGNB) found in soil, plants, and some water sources but rarely implicated as a human pathogen. Its scarcity in the medical literature and resistance to numerous broad-spectrum antibiotics such as carbapenems, cephalosporins, and beta-lactam/lactamase inhibitors pose a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We present the first reported case, to the best of our knowledge, of sepsis from central line-associated blood stream infection from Chryseobacterium gleum in the United States.
