- Abstract: Leclercia adecarboxylata is a facultative gram negative bacillus of the Enterobacteriaceae family. It has been previously reported as a rarely isolated opportunistic pathogen, mainly in the form of mixed infection with other organisms. We report two cases of independent infection by L. adecarboxylata. One strain of L. adecarboxylata was isolated from Baker's cyst in an immunocompetent patient and the other strain from dialysate in a patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
