Abstract

Leclercia adecarboxylata is a motile, Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic bacillus of the Enterobacteriaceae family. L. adecarboxylata is an opportunistic human pathogen that phenotypically resembles Escherichia coli, although L. adecarboxylata has been rarely isolated from clinical specimens. Here we report a case of diabetic foot infection due to L. adecarboxylata, which has never been reported in Korea.

Key Words: Enterobacteriaceae, Diabetic foot
