Abstract:
Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica is a rare pathogen that was first isolated from Wohlfahrtia magnifica, a parasitic fly. It is an uncommon, but an emerging human pathogen reported only in Europe and South America. Until today, it has been reported to be a zoonotic pathogen originating from different geographic locations. The present case, a patient suffering from osteomyelitis in Turkey, represents the first report of this pathogen in this country and so far no reports of related osteomyelitis associated with W. chitiniclastica is available. Clin-ical awareness of these emerging human pathogens is crucial for controlling infectious diseases.
