BACKGROUND: Robinsoniella peoriensis is an anaerobic gram-positive bacilli first isolated from swine manure in 2003 but has since been associated with human infections. METHODS: We describe a pediatric case of R. peoriensis infection following a below-knee amputation for a limb injury and its treatment. Methods of identifying R. peoriensis and reported in vitro antimicrobial minimum inhibitory concentrations from the literature are reviewed. RESULTS: R. peoriensis is readily identifiable via 16S rRNA gene sequencing and Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight. There is variability in the antibiotic susceptibility profiles reported in the literature, but antibiotics with low in vitro minimum inhibitor concentrations against R. peoriensis include beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitors, carbapenems, vancomycin, and metronidazole. CONCLUSION: This is the first reported case of R. peoriensis infection following a traumatic injury in Canada to our knowledge and highlights the importance of recognizing this organism and other anaerobes in settings where wounds are grossly contaminated with soil. |
