We report a case of bacteremia caused by a Helicobacter pullorum-like organism in a 35-year-old man with pyrexia of unknown origin. Culture of blood samples obtained at admission yielded a motile, spiral-shaped gram-negative rod, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing identified this organism as Helicobacter pullorum-like, showing 23 base differences compared with the recently described "Helicobacter canadensis" (a recently proposed group that had previously been classified within H. pullorum). We believe that this is the first report of bacteremia caused by this organism.
我们报告了一例由类幽门螺杆菌引起的菌血症病例,患者为一名35岁不明原因发热的男性。入院时采集的血样培养出一种运动性、螺旋状的革兰氏阴性杆菌,16S rRNA基因测序鉴定该菌为类幽门螺杆菌,与最近描述的“加拿大幽门螺杆菌”(一个最近提出的曾被归类于幽门螺杆菌内的菌群)相比有23个碱基差异。我们认为这是该菌引起菌血症的首例报告。
