We report a case in which Escherichia fergusonii, an emerging pathogen in various types of infections, was associated with cystitis in a 52-year-old woman. The offending strain was found to be multidrug resistant. Despite in vitro activity, beta-lactam treatment failed because of a lack of patient compliance with therapy. The work confirms the pathogenic potential of E. fergusonii.
我们报告了一例病例，一名52岁女性患膀胱炎，其病因是费氏埃希菌，这是一种在各类感染中逐渐崭露头角的病原体。发现致病菌株具有多重耐药性。尽管β-内酰胺类药物在体外有活性，但由于患者未遵守治疗方案，治疗失败。这项研究证实了费氏埃希菌的致病潜力。
