AI Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses a Gram-positive, aerobic bacterium that is commonly found in the environment but isn't well-studied, leading to frequent misidentification in lab testing.
- - So far, only six cases of bacteremia caused by this bacterium have been documented, with the report highlighting a case involving an immunocompromised patient.
- - Antimicrobial susceptibility tests showed the bacterium is sensitive to vancomycin and teicoplanin, but resistant to penicillin, cephalosporin, and ciprofloxacin, and genome analysis revealed parts of its urease system.
Article Abstract
is a Gram-positive, aerobic that is widely distributed in the environment worldwide. Little is known about infection and it is commonly mis-identified by culturing with commercial kits. To date, only six cases of bacteremia caused by have been reported in the literature. Herein, we report a case of bacteremia in an immunocompromised host. In this case report, the results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed that this clinical isolate of is sensitive to vancomycin, teicoplanin, but resistant to penicillin, cephalosporin and ciprofloxacin. Additionally, whole genome sequencing analysis identified common subunits of the urease system.
