dc.description.abstractHelcococcus kunzii is a gram-positive and catalase negative cocci that can be pathogenic especially in lower extremity wounds and cellulite of diabetic patients. This study aimed to report the case of a diabetic patient with an advanced wound infection after bone fracture caused by H. kunzii with Staphylococcus aureus. Beta-haemolytic staphylococci-like colonies and alpha-haemolytic streptococci-like colonies were observed in the wound sample. Catalase and oxidase tests of alpha haemolytic colonies were found negative. In the identification with VITEK 2 (bioMerieux, France), the bacteria were identified as S. aureus and H. kunzii. H. kunzii isolate was susceptible to ampicillin, ceftriaxone, cefepime, cefotaxime and vancomycin; resistant to erythromycin and clindamycin. Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid was used for the treatment of the patient, and the patient recovered. This case supports the knowledge that H. kunzii can cause soft tissue infection with bacteria such as S. aureus.en_US
