A 45-year-old man with a cholesteatoma experienced purulent meningitis. Microbial analysis of cerebrospinal fluid yielded in pure culture a gram-negative bacillus. Phenotypic methods were suggestive of a Bacteroides distasonis or either a Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron or Bacteroides ovatus infection. The isolate was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis as B. thetaiotaomicron. This is the first case of B. thetaiotaomicron meningitis in pure culture.
一名患有胆脂瘤的45岁男性发生了化脓性脑膜炎。脑脊液的微生物分析在纯培养物中培养出一种革兰氏阴性杆菌。表型方法提示为狄氏拟杆菌或嗜热栖瘤胃杆菌或卵形拟杆菌感染。通过16S rRNA基因序列分析将该分离株鉴定为嗜热栖瘤胃杆菌。这是首例纯培养的嗜热栖瘤胃杆菌脑膜炎病例。
