A 76-year-old man who was admitted to the hospital because of chronic renal insufficiency and chronic hepatitis died of Corynebacterium group JK pneumonia, after showing a slight improvement by treatment of Staphylococcus aureus with sulbactam/cefoperazone and minocycline. Transtracheal aspiration (TTA) just before his death revealed numerous gram-positive bacilli phagocytized by many neutrophils and more than 10(8) colony forming units (CFU)/ml of Corynebacterium group JK. A drug susceptibility test showed Corynebacterium group JK was resistant to many antibiotics, with the exception of vancomycin and amikacin.
一名因慢性肾功能不全和慢性肝炎入院的76岁男性,在使用舒巴坦/头孢哌酮和米诺环素治疗金黄色葡萄球菌后病情稍有改善,但最终死于JK组棒状杆菌肺炎。临死前经气管穿刺吸引术(TTA)显示有大量被许多中性粒细胞吞噬的革兰氏阳性杆菌,JK组棒状杆菌的菌落形成单位(CFU)超过10⁸/ml。药敏试验显示JK组棒状杆菌对许多抗生素耐药,仅对万古霉素和阿米卡星敏感。
