AI Article Synopsis
- The study identifies and analyzes two uncommon bacterial isolates from bloodstream infections in patients with pressure sores and cancer.
- The bacteria were confirmed as Gram-positive and showed high genetic similarity to a specific microorganism through advanced techniques like MALDI-TOF MS and gene sequencing.
- Antibiotic susceptibility testing revealed that the bacteria were sensitive to several antibiotics, which may help raise awareness about this rare infection and improve detection in clinical settings.
Article Abstract
The identification and antibiotic susceptibility of two clinical isolates of from bloodstream infections were determined. This microorganism is rarely pathogenic, and the findings are presented here to promote the detection and awareness of this infection. The bacteria were obtained from one patient with pressure sores and another with a malignant gastric tumor. Smears were prepared, stained, and examined by microscopy. Single colonies were analyzed by Gram staining, MALDI-TOF MS, and the 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Antibiotic sensitivity was assessed by the agar dilution method. The bacilli were found to be Gram-positive, and the MS results showed 99.8% homology with . It was confirmed by gene sequencing. Antibiotic susceptibility tests demonstrated that was sensitive to piperacillin-tazobactam, ampicillin-sulbactam, imipenem, meropenem, metronidazole, clindamycin, and vancomycin. This study could increase awareness of this rare infection.
