Providencia heimbachae was first described in 1986. It has been isolated from penguin feces and an aborted bovine fetus. To date, there has been no reported isolation of this organism from human specimens. We now report the isolation of P. heimbachae from the stool of a 23-year-old woman with idiopathic diarrhea. The identity of the human strain was determined biochemically and by DNA relatedness to the type strain of P. heimbachae.
海姆巴赫普罗威登斯菌于1986年首次被描述。它已从企鹅粪便和一头流产的牛胎儿中分离出来。迄今为止，尚未有从人类标本中分离出这种微生物的报道。我们现在报告从一名患有特发性腹泻的23岁女性的粪便中分离出海姆巴赫普罗威登斯菌。通过生化方法以及与海姆巴赫普罗威登斯菌模式菌株的DNA相关性确定了该人类菌株的身份。
