Abstract:
The organisms presently named "Corynebacterium aquaticum" have their natural habitat in water and are increasingly often isolated in clinical specimens, but are very seldom the proven cause of infection. A case of a 24-year-old man with a "C aquaticum" wound infection secondary to a high-pressure water injection injury in the foot is described. Cefadroxil and cefuroxime were used for treatment.
