One case of primary Desulfovibrio desulfuricans bacteremia in an immunocompetent man is presented, and 15 other reported cases are reviewed. While most isolates have not been identified to the species level, Desulfovibrio fairfieldensis and D. desulfuricans have been associated with incidents of bacteremia and D. vulgaris has been associated with intra-abdominal infections. In vitro studies suggest that empirical therapy with either imipenem or metronidazole should be considered.
本文报告了一例免疫功能正常男性原发性脱硫脱硫弧菌败血症病例,并对其他15例报告病例进行了回顾。虽然大多数分离株尚未鉴定到种水平,但费尔菲尔德脱硫弧菌和脱硫脱硫弧菌与败血症事件有关,而普通脱硫弧菌与腹腔内感染有关。体外研究表明,应考虑使用亚胺培南或甲硝唑进行经验性治疗。
