Brevibacteria are obligately aerobic gram-positive bacilli that are associated with milk products and are also found on human skin. Strains of Brevibacterium casei have been found to correspond to Centers for Disease Control coryneform groups B-1 and B-3 and have been isolated from a variety of human clinical specimens. In this report, we describe a case of B. casei bacteremia and sepsis in a patient with AIDS associated with a contaminated Hickmann catheter and review the microbiology and characteristics of these emerging opportunistic pathogens.
短杆菌是专性需氧的革兰氏阳性杆菌，与乳制品有关，也存在于人体皮肤上。已发现干酪短杆菌菌株与疾病控制中心棒状杆菌属B-1和B-3组相对应，并已从多种人类临床标本中分离出来。在本报告中，我们描述了一例艾滋病患者因 Hickmann 导管污染而发生的干酪短杆菌菌血症和败血症病例，并回顾了这些新出现的机会性病原体的微生物学和特征。
