ISOLATION OF B-BRONCHISEPTICA FROM THE RE SPIRATORY-TRACT OF A PATIENT WITH AIDS

B. bronchiseptica in combination with K. pneumoniae and S. marcescens was isolated from the respiratory tract of a patient with AIDS, treate d with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for a P. carinii pneumonia and wi th clarithromycin for a M. avium infection. The immunology with antibo dy against B. bronchiseptica could be in favour of its pathogenicity. The strain was susceptible to amoxicillin, ticarcillin, ceftazidime, t etracycline, aminoglycoside, fluoroquinolone, erythromycin; resistant to cefuroxime, cefixime, cefotaxime, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and fosfomycine.
