Although often regarded as a contaminant, Bacillus spp. have been implicated in serious systemic infections. The incidence of such infections is low with only a few cases reported in the literature. We describe the clinical course of early-onset Bacillus cereus bacteremia in a preterm neonate who was successfully treated with vancomycin.
尽管芽孢杆菌属通常被视为污染物,但它已被认为与严重的全身感染有关。此类感染的发生率较低,文献中仅报道了少数病例。我们描述了一名早产新生儿早发性蜡样芽孢杆菌菌血症的临床过程,该患儿经万古霉素治疗成功。
