Isolation of Eikenella corrodens from a liver abscess. Case report.
1989
: Eikenella corrodens was isolated from a posttraumatic liver abscess in a man with previous hemicolectomy for sigmoid adenocarcinoma. Escherichia coli was the initial isolate, but sepsis persisted after its eradication by cefuroxime and metronidazole. A second specimen yielded E. corrodens which responded promptly to combined ampicillin and netilmicin. The patient died of disseminated cancer 6 months later.
