title: Empyema Caused by Pseudomonas luteola: A Case Report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Pseudomonas luteola is an uncommon opportunistic pathogen. It is recognized as an uncommon cause of infections in underlying medical disorders. Infections caused by this microorganism are health care associated.
  
  
  METHODS
  The current study isolated P. luteola from empyema in a patient with tuberculous pleurisy, whose susceptibility to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole differed from previous reports.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  P. luteola is resistant to TMP-SMX, but in the present case P. luteola was susceptible to TMP-SMX.
