Yersinia enterocolitica is a gram-negative coccobacillus. Y. enterocolitica infection is acquired by humans via the oral route. Infection due to Y. enterocolitica was first observed in 1933 in New York. Y. enterocolitica septicemia has been increasingly recognized in recent years, whereas endocarditis due to Y. enterocolitica is a rare manifestation. We herein describe a patient who developed Y. enterocolitica endocarditis and was successfully treated with a combination of drugs consisting of a quinolone (ofloxacin) and an aminoglycoside (netilmicin).
小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌是一种革兰氏阴性球杆菌。人类通过口服途径感染小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌。1933年在纽约首次观察到由小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌引起的感染。近年来,小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌败血症越来越受到关注,而小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌引起的心内膜炎则是一种罕见的表现。我们在此描述一名发生小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌心内膜炎并通过喹诺酮类药物(氧氟沙星)和氨基糖苷类药物(奈替米星)联合用药成功治疗的患者。
