We describe the application of 16S rRNA gene sequencing in defining eight cases of bacteremia due to Haemophilus species other than Haemophilus influenzae (non-H. influenzae bacteremia) during a 7-year period. The first case of acute pyelonephritis due to Haemophilus segnis is also reported. In contrast to the extremely rare incidence of H. segnis infections reported previously, our results suggested that H. segnis is an important cause of non-H. influenzae bacteremia.
我们描述了16S rRNA基因测序在确定7年期间8例由非流感嗜血杆菌(非H. influenzae菌血症)引起的菌血症病例中的应用。还报告了首例由迟钝嗜血杆菌引起的急性肾盂肾炎病例。与先前报道的极为罕见的迟钝嗜血杆菌感染发病率形成对比的是,我们的结果表明迟钝嗜血杆菌是非H. influenzae菌血症的一个重要病因。
