Abstract

This report describes a patient presenting mitral native endocarditis due to Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus, which was revealed by syncope and identified using 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. This gene sequencing method has become the preferred approach to identifying the new emerging pathogens when discrepancies exist between phenotypical tests.

摘要

本报告描述了一名因胎儿弯曲杆菌胎儿亚种导致二尖瓣原发性心内膜炎的患者，该病症通过晕厥发现，并采用16S核糖体RNA基因测序进行鉴定。当表型试验存在差异时，这种基因测序方法已成为鉴定新出现病原体的首选方法。
