Abstract

In this article, we describe 6 cases of patients that presented to the emergency room with symptoms and laboratories compatible with the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. What attracts attention about these six cases are the results of the culture of the tissue, which reveals in these six patients the presence of the bacteria Comamonas kerstersii.
