SILVA, Antonio Rafael da et al. Shewanella putrefaciens in traumatic skin lesions. Rev Pan-Amaz Saude [online]. 2010, vol.1, n.3, pp.125-128. ISSN 2176-6215.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/S2176-62232010000300016.

The authors describe the case of a 44-year old fisherman who presented with infectious ulcers on his right leg after suffering a trauma while fishing. The species Shewanella putrefaciens, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were isolated and identified from a culture of the wound secretion. The isolates were identified by standard microbiological procedures and commercial identification systems (NF and Vitek GNI). Shewanella putrefaciens was sensitive to the majority of antibiotics tested.

Palabras clave : Leg Dermatoses; Bacterial Infections; Skin Ulcer; Shewanella putrefaciens.
