The septicemia caused by the Arizona group organism is rare and usually observed in adults with underlying diseases. In Korea, Salmonella infection is common, but a report of Arizona infection is unknown. We isolated S. entercia subsp. diarizonae from blood of a 6-month-old infant. The serovar was determined as 28:z10:-, a rare one in America. The isolate was susceptible to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, cotrimoxazole and others. The patient rapidly recovered with ampicillin and gentamicin therapy. Clinical laboratories should consider that the infection exists in Korea and should attempt to isolate and identify Arizona organism in certain patients.
由亚利桑那菌群生物体引起的败血症很罕见，通常在患有基础疾病的成年人中观察到。在韩国，沙门氏菌感染很常见，但亚利桑那菌感染的报告却未知。我们从一名6个月大婴儿的血液中分离出了肠炎沙门氏菌亚利桑那亚种。该血清型被确定为28:z10: -，这在美国是一种罕见的血清型。该分离株对氨苄青霉素、氯霉素、复方新诺明等敏感。患者经氨苄青霉素和庆大霉素治疗后迅速康复。临床实验室应考虑到韩国存在这种感染，并应尝试在某些患者中分离和鉴定亚利桑那菌生物体。
