We describe the isolation of Actinobacillus lignieresii and an A. equuli-like bacterium from an infected horse-bite wound in a 22-year-old stable foreman and A. suis from a bite injury in a 35-year-old man who had been attacked by a horse. A. lignieresii was also isolated in pure culture from an infected sheep-bite wound in a rural worker. These species of the genus Actinobacillus are primarily associated with animals and animal diseases and are rarely isolated from humans. The purpose of this report is to raise awareness of the possible occurrence of Actinobacillus spp. in bite wounds inflicted by farm animals and to discuss the difficulties encountered in the identification of species of Actinobacillus and related bacteria.
我们描述了从一名22岁马厩工头的感染马咬伤伤口中分离出李氏放线杆菌和一种类马驹放线杆菌,以及从一名被马袭击的35岁男子的咬伤伤口中分离出猪放线杆菌。李氏放线杆菌也从一名农场工人的感染羊咬伤伤口中纯培养分离得到。放线杆菌属的这些菌种主要与动物及动物疾病相关,很少从人类中分离得到。本报告的目的是提高对农场动物咬伤伤口中可能出现放线杆菌属菌种的认识,并讨论在鉴定放线杆菌属及相关细菌菌种时遇到的困难。
