Article Synopsis
- Lautropia mirabilis is a Gram-negative bacterium associated with respiratory infections in patients with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV or cystic fibrosis; however, its pathogenicity is not well understood due to limited cases.
- A 39-year-old female with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) experienced sepsis caused by L. mirabilis, which was identified through blood cultures and effectively treated with meropenem.
- Whole genome sequencing of L. mirabilis showed genes that aid in invading host cells and surviving inside them, underscoring the need to recognize its potential danger beyond respiratory infections in immunocompromised individuals.
