To evaluate the clinical significance of Streptomyces isolates in different clinical samples.
Review of the records of all cases of Streptomyces isolated from any clinical sample at a tertiary Hospital, during a seven-year period.
Streptomyces was isolated from 13 patients. All of them had underlying diseases. Only in one patient Streptomyces was considered to have a pathogenic role in the clinical picture. We report the third case of catheter-related infection caused by this microorganism.
Streptomyces is usually isolated from patients with underlying diseases. Before considering them significative, Streptomyces isolates must be interpreted in the clinical context.
评估从不同临床样本中分离出的链霉菌属菌株的临床意义。
回顾一家三级医院在七年期间从任何临床样本中分离出链霉菌属的所有病例记录。
从13名患者中分离出链霉菌属。他们均有基础疾病。仅1例患者的链霉菌属被认为在临床表现中起致病作用。我们报告了该微生物引起的第三例导管相关感染病例。
链霉菌属通常从有基础疾病的患者中分离得到。在认为它们具有重要意义之前，必须结合临床情况对分离出的链霉菌属菌株进行解读。
