Leuconostoc species, which are members of the family Streptococcacae, have only recently been recognized as potential pathogens. We describe a patient with type II diabetes mellitus who had multiple liver abscesses associated with bacteremia due to Leuconostoc lactis. To our knowledge, this is the first case of this association to be reported in the literature.
明串珠菌属是链球菌科的成员,直到最近才被认为是潜在的病原体。我们描述了一名患有II型糖尿病的患者,他因乳酸明串珠菌感染发生了多次肝脓肿并伴有菌血症。据我们所知,这是文献中首次报道的这种关联病例。
