TODO - The aim of this report is to present a case of severe skin ulceration
and cellulitis in a seven year old mongrel dog following cystitis. The
Providencia stuartii strain was the only isolate from skin lesions. This
bacterium is a Gram-negative rod belonging to the family of
Enterobacteriaceae. To the best of our knowledge, even though there are
some reports in the literature concerning animal infections with
Providencia species, there have been no cases of cellulitis in which
this pathogen is involved. The Providencia stuartii strain was highly
sensitive to amikacin, and the dog responded quickly to this antibiotic.
