AB  - Comamonas testosteroni is a gram-negative, non-glucose fermenting, oxidase positive, motile bacillus. It is accepted as a low-virulent microorganism and rarely causes infections in humans. Survival at low nutrient conditions, ability to acquire resistance genes and already found virulence factors make C. testosteroni a potential candidate to be a dangerous infectious agent, especially in patients with predisposing factors. We report a rare case of a bacteriemia due to a rarely isolated microorganism, C. testosteroni, in a male adult patient.

N2  - C. testosteroni gram negatif, glikozu fermente etmeyen, oksidaz pozitif, hareketli bir basildir. Düşük virülanslı bir mikroorganizma olarak kabul edilir ve insanlarda nadiren enfeksiyona neden olur. Zorlu besin koşullarında hayatta kalma, direnç genlerini edinme yeteneği ve içerdiği virülans faktörleri, C. testosteroni'yi, özellikle predispozan faktörleri olan hastalarda, tehlikeli bir enfeksiyöz ajanı olmak için, potansiyel bir aday yapar. Bu raporda, bir erkek erişkin hastada, C. testosteroni’nin neden olduğu bakteriyemi olgusunu sunuyoruz.
