Enterobacter species, particularly E. cloacae and E. aerogenes, are important nosocomial pathogenes responsible for various infections.We report a 70-y-old patient with catheter-associated urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by a nosocomial Enterobacter cloacae with multidrug-resistance.The identification of isolates from clinical culture and the study of pattern antimicrobial susceptibility were performed to the clinical risolution of the patient’s disease.The initial empirical antimicrobial therapy resulted ineffective.
