We describe a case of bloodstream infection (BSI) caused by Campylobacter lari in a 58-year-old man diagnosed with lumbar pyogenic spondylitis. Anaerobic blood cultures, taken on the day of admission and on hospital day 4, were positive after 30 h of incubation, although no bacteria were detected by Gram staining. After subculture on 5 % sheep blood agar for 2 days at 35 °C in a 5 % CO 2 environment, capnophilic, curved, gram-negative bacteria were recovered. The bacteria were identified as C. lari using a combination of phenotypic identification methods and partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The BSI was eradicated following combination therapy with intravenous tazobactam/piperacillin, oral erythromycin, and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim. These results suggest that accurate identification, to the species level, is important to determine effective treatment of BSI caused by Campylobacter spp. and can help us to understand the epidemiology. 相似文献

Buruli ulcer is the third most common mycobacterial infection worldwide and is mainly diagnosed in tropical regions. Globally, this progressive disease is caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans; however, Mycobacterium ulcerans subsp. shinshuense, an Asian variant, has been exclusively identified in Japan. Because of insufficient clinical cases, the clinical features of M. ulcerans subsp. shinshuense–associated Buruli ulcer remain unclear. A 70-year-old Japanese woman presented with erythema on her left backhand. The skin lesion deteriorated without an apparent etiology of inflammation, and she was referred to our hospital 3 months after disease onset. A biopsy specimen was incubated in 2% Ogawa medium at 30 °C. After 66 days, we detected small yellow-pigmented colonies, suggesting scotochromogens. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI Biotyper; Bruker Daltonics, Billerica, MA, USA) indicated that the organism was Mycobacterium pseudoshottsii or Mycobacterium marinum . However, additional PCR testing for the insertion sequence 2404 (IS 2404) was positive, suggesting that the pathogen was either M. ulcerans or M. ulcerans subsp. shinshuense. Further examination by 16S rRNA sequencing analysis, focusing on nucleotide positions 492, 1247, 1288, and 1449–1451, we finally identified the organism as M. ulcerans subsp. shinshuense. The patient was successfully treated with 12 weeks of clarithromycin and levofloxacin treatment. Mass spectrometry is the latest microbial diagnostic method; however, it cannot be used to identify M. ulcerans subsp. shinshuense. To accurately detect this enigmatic pathogen and uncover its epidemiology and clinical characteristics in Japan, more accumulation of clinical cases with accurate identification of the causative pathogen is essential. 相似文献

Mycolicibacter kumamotonensis ( M. kumamotonensis), formerly Mycobacterium kumamotonense, is a nontuberculous mycobacteria species, which was first separated from Mycobacterium terrae complex in 2006. Reports about infections caused by M. kumamotonensis are extremely rare, with most of them being lung infection. Here, we report the case of a 68-year-old man with a hobby of gardening who developed swelling in his right middle finger. He underwent surgical debridement at a previous hospital and was diagnosed with nontuberculous mycobacteria infection based on positive findings of acid-fast staining of pus obtained from the surgical specimen. He was treated with rifampicin, ethambutol, and clarithromycin, but the swelling worsened. Therefore, he was referred to our hospital for further examination and treatment. We performed a second debridement and added isoniazid to the treatment regimen, but the swelling continued to worsen. We then administered levofloxacin, but his condition did not change. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry and DNA sequencing analysis confirmed M. kumamotonensis as the causative bacterium. Since the finger swelling did not improve, the patient underwent a third debridement and amikacin was added to the treatment regimen. Finally, the infection was controlled. He completed amikacin therapy and will continue treatment with the other five antibiotics for a total of 24 months. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with M. kumamotonensis soft tissue infection. We consider this case might provide important insights into the diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue infections caused by M. kumamotonensis. 相似文献

An 83-year-old previously self-sufficient man was referred to our hospital for a fever, severe tenderness over the lumbar spine, and elevated C-reactive protein levels. Computed tomography revealed fluid collection in the intervertebral space of L3/4. Gram-positive, short rod-shaped bacteria were isolated from two sets of blood cultures. A 16S rRNA sequence analysis of an isolate showed a similarity of 98.1% to the nearest type strain Brachybacterium squillarum JCM 16464 T. Biochemical characteristics of the presently isolated strain differed from those of the most closely related species of the genus Brachybacterium. The patient was successfully discharged on day 73 of admission with antimicrobial therapies and showed no recurrence during outpatient visits. Brachybacterium spp. have mainly been isolated from the environment, and human Brachybacterium infections have rarely been documented to date. To our knowledge, this is the first clinical isolation of Brachybacterium sp. as a causative pathogen of bloodstream infection. 相似文献

Introduction: Bacterial bloodstream infections (BSI) form a large public health threat worldwide. Current routine diagnosis is based on blood culture (BC) but this technique suffers from limited sensitivity. Molecular diagnostic tools have been developed for identification of bacteria in the blood of BSI patients. 16S metagenomics is an open-ended technique that can detect simultaneously all bacteria in a given sample based on PCR amplification of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) followed by sequencing of the PCR amplicons and taxonomic labeling of the sequence reads at genus or species level. Areas covered: Here we review the studies that have used 16S metagenomics for the identification of bacteria in human blood samples. We also discuss the potential added value of 16S metagenomics in the diagnosis of BSI, challenges as well as future directions for implementation in clinical settings. Expert commentary: 16S metagenomics has the potential to complement conventional BC; however, the technique currently suffers from several technical limitations jeopardizing implementation in routine clinical microbiology laboratories. Further studies are required to assess the cost-efficiency and clinical impact of 16S metagenomics in comparison to BC which remains the gold standard diagnostic method for BSI. 相似文献

Abstract:Objective To identify one runny mucoid-like Gram-negative bacteria with pink pigment isolated from clinical pus sample. Methods The pus sample was aseptically extracted from a deep lesions of one patient, then stored in Amies medium at room temperature for transportation. One sheep blood plate and one chocolate plate were used to detect the possible pathogens from the specimens. After inoculation, the plates were placed in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2 at 35 ℃. To identify the obtained isolates, we used the commercial Vitek2 and API systems, combining some traditional morphological examination and classical biochemical and physiological characteristics. For pure cultures, the cellular fatty acids were extracted, methylated, and determined by gas chromatography method. The 16S rRNA gene was amplified and sequenced by a commercial broad-spectrum PCR primers. The phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene was constructed by Mega 4.1 software using the neighbour-joining methods with 1 000 bootstrap replications. Results One runny mucoid-like Gram-negative bacterium, named K8756, was isolated both on sheep blood and chocolate plates after 72 h incubation. The API 20NE profile was 1245045 after a 3-day culture, which would be identified as Ochrobactrum anthropi with a good confidence of 98% probability. It was identified as Ralstonia pickettii and Bordetella bronchiseptica by VITEK 2 GN kits. However, further comparative 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain K8756 was closely related to the valid published Roseomonas mucosa MDA 5527 with 100% identity. Colonial morphologic features, phenotypic characteristics and major cellular fatty acid composition were also with high similarity to Roseomonas mucosa. Conclusions Strain K8756( = GIMCC 1.0030 ) is identified as Roseomonas mucosa by the polyphasic phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. The comparative analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences is a useful method for identifying the problematic and newly named bacteria. 相似文献

To date, only 26 cases of Mycobacterium wolinskyi infections have been reported in humans. We herein report a first case of prosthetic valve endocarditis due to this organism after cardiovascular surgery. An 82-year-old man presented with repeat episodes of syncope and fever after aortic valve replacement, mitral valve replacement, left atrial appendage closure, and pulmonary vein isolation. Blood cultures maintained in aerobic bottles were repeatedly positive after 90–100 hours, and Gallium scan revealed abnormal accumulations in the sternum and left testis. While colonies formed by culturing the fluid of the parasternal area and blood cultures revealed gram-positive rods, we could not analyze the colony using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF). M. wolinskyi was finally identified on 16S rRNA, hsp65, and rpoB gene sequencing. We treated the patient with multiple antimycobacterial drugs, i.e., amikacin, imipenem, and clarithromycin for 6 weeks, which was changed to oral ciprofloxacin and minocycline for 12 months. This case highlights the need to consider rapidly growing mycobacteria, including M. wolinskyi, if chronic fever persists from weeks to months after surgery, the blood culture is positive, and the organism is not identified. In addition, sequencing the 16S rRNA, hsp65, and rpoB genes is essential for diagnosis. 相似文献

High-performance liquid chromatography analysis of mycolic acids and partial gene sequencing for the first 500-bp 5′ end of the 16S rRNA gene were used singularly and in combination to evaluate the final identification of species. Examination of 200 cultures revealed 100 strains of slowly growing mycobacteria (SGM), 91 strains of rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM), and 9 strains of other genera. SGM were discriminated in complexes with both methods for 56 strains, composed primarily of the Mycobacterium spp.: Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium terrae, and Mycobacterium simiae– Mycobacterium lentiflavum. For RGM, 73 strains were associated with complexes designated as Mycobacterium abscessus– Mycobacterium chelonae, Mycobacterium fortuitum– Mycobacterium peregrinum, and Mycobacterium mucogenicum– Mycobacterium phocaicum. Consistent identification of all the isolates differentiated to single species within the Mycobacterium genus was not possible with either test method. Sequencing results often distinguished complexes containing fewer species, and combining the results from each method increased the confidence of identifying the correct species. 相似文献

Microbacterium species are coryneform gram-positive rods that are widely distributed in the environment and have been recently recognized as rare pathogens in humans. However, information about the epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of Microbacterium species is scarce. We herein reported an 11-year-old girl with acute leukemia who was found to have catheter-related bloodstream infection in her neutropenic phase. Gram-positive bacilli repeatedly grew on the blood cultures and were later confirmed by 16S rRNA analysis as Microbacterium paraoxydans. A literature review found available clinical courses in 21 cases (7 pediatric cases) of Microbacterium spp. bacteremia. Our case and those in literature suggested that Microbacterium spp. bacteremia often occurs in patients with indwelling central venous catheters; the literature review further suggested that removal of central venous catheters is required in most cases and that 16S rRNA sequence was useful in identifying in detail the species of Microbacterium. 相似文献
