Micrococcus folliculitis in HIV-1 disease

Organisms with little pathogenic potential in immunocompetent hosts may produce disease in HIV-1 + patients. We describe three HIV-1 + patients in late disease who presented with pruritic papules with central ulceration over the face and arms. In all the patients the eruptions had been present for months, and the patients did not develop sepsis. Biopsy specimens in all the patients showed large Gram-positive cocci, forming tetrads. Colony morphology, catalase positivity and coagulase negativity, and resistance to nitrofurantoin were used to separate micrococci from staphylococci. Micrococcus species are usually considered normal inhabitants of the skin; however, in patients with HIV-1 disease, Micrococcus species can produce localized cutaneous infections.     

Induction of immunity by latex beads and by hemolymph transfer in Galleria mellonella.

Injection of sterile latex beads into the hemocoel of last instar larvae of Galleria mellonella provoked a strong defense reaction. Cellular defense by hemocytes was followed by enhanced antibacterial activity in hemolymph. Latex-injected insects showed increased survival rates after a challenge injection with high doses of bacteria. Factors which stimulate the production of antibacterial activity could be demonstrated soon after injection by transfer of hemolymph from preinjected to untreated larvae. A large induction capacity in donor hemolymph was accompanied by a strong decrease in the total hemocyte count of free floating hemocytes, resulting from a decrease in number of plasmatocytes and granular cells, the cell types involved in the cellular defense against the injected latex beads. The results presented support the hypothesis that during cellular defense reactions, factors are released from the hemocytes which stimulate the production of antibacterial substances.

Kocuria kristinae infection during adalimumab treatment

A common inhabitant of skin, the Kocuria kristinae of the Micrococcaceae family, has gained attention in recent years because it can induce pathology in humans. Reported is a Kocuria kristinae-caused abdominal abscess in a patient treated for rheumatoid arthritis with adalimumab. The tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor drugs are known to cause various bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. This is the first known case where an opportunistic infection with Kocuria has presented with an abdominal abscess in an immunocompromised individual who is on long term TNF inhibitors.     

Micrococcus luteus pneumonia: A case report and review of the literature

The clinical course of a 69-year-old male with acute myelogenous leukemia is described who, while extremely leukopenic (<100 neutrophils/μ1) from chemotherapy, developed a cavitating pneumonia due to a gram-positive coccus, Micrococcus luteus. Aggressive antibiotic management and attainment of complete remission of his leukemia resulted in a successful outcome. A review of the literature regarding the pathogenicitiy of this organism and, in particular, its occurrence as a cause of pneumonia is presented.

Right-sided Infective Endocarditis with Acquired Tricuspid Valve Stenosis Associated with Transvenous Pacemaker: A Case Report

Five years prior to presentation, a 29-year-old woman received a transvenous pacemaker (DDD) for sick sinus syndrome and nodo-hisian pathology. After pacemaker insertion, she complained of recurrent febrile episodes. Her pacemaker related endocarditis was quite unusual for the infecting organism (a micrococcus) and for an acquired tricuspid valve stenosis. The suspected cause was confirmed at surgery.
