Background   Edwardsiella tarda  is an Enterobacteriaceae found in aquatic environments. Extraintestinal infections caused by  Edwardsiella tarda  in humans are rare and occur in the presence of some risk factors. As far as we know, this is the first case of near-drowning-associated pneumonia with bacteremia caused by coinfection with methicillin-susceptible  Staphylococcus aureus  and  Edwardsiella tarda  in a healthy patient.    Case presentation  A 27-year-old previously healthy white man had an episode of fresh water drowning after acute alcohol consumption.  Edwardsiella tarda  and methicillin-sensitive  Staphylococcus aureus  were isolated in both tracheal aspirate cultures and blood cultures.    Conclusion  This case shows that  Edwardsiella tarda  is an important pathogen in near drowning even in healthy individuals, and not only in the presence of risk factors, as previously known.
