Ralstonia Pickettii

Guest
We just got the culture results from the girls' most recent clinic visit. Isabella is bug free, but Taylor cultured a little pseudomonas and this ralstonia pickettii thing. Our nurse coordinator (who has been caring for Cfers for a long time) said she had never heard of it before. She sent us an article and it sounds like it is pretty rare, so there is not much research on it.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about this bug? It is really a bummer because Taylor hasn't cultured anything for almost a year now.

The doctor started her on Cipro and Colistin. The ralstonia is resistent to tobramycin.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

My daughter recently cultured cupriavidus pauculus, also known as Ralstonia paucula. Our nurses had never seen it either. Our doctor consluted a few other doctors and did not seem concerned about it. I found very little information about it online as well. She also cultured staph in the same culture, which we ended up treating due to symptoms and a subsequent culture did not show the Ralstonia paucula again. So not sure, but I am keeping my eye out for information on it.

We just got a culture w/ very few cupriavidus respiraculi (ralstonia). They said this organism is often misidentified as B. Cepacia, but it is not Cepacia. Fairly new organism.....Don't u hate all these smart bugs!
