VANEGAS-RODRIGUEZ, Édgar S. et al. Escherichia fergusonii in a patient with a traumatic amputation of the right pelvic limb. Cir. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.88, suppl.1, pp.51-53. Epub 08-Feb-2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20001455.
The name of Escherichia fergusonii was in honor of the microbiologist William H. Ferguson. It is a gram-negative rod, motile, oxidase negative,catalase positive, nitrate reducing and fermenter. Opportunistic that is associated with surgical site infections. A 12-year-old girl was referred to an orthopedic emergency department in Mexico City with a traumatic amputation of the right leg, she had bone exposure and required several surgical debridements. From bone and soft tissue samples we isolated E. fergusonii only resistant to trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole and ampicillin, and other germs. She received a month of ertapenem plus ampicillin with marked improvement.
