We describe the isolation of a Francisella sp. from normally sterile sites in acutely ill patients in two different states within 2 years. Microbiologic and molecular analyses indicate that this organism represents a novel Francisella sp. Clinicians and microbiologists should be aware of this new potential pathogen, as infection may be more common than recognized.
我们描述了在两年内从两个不同州的急性病患者正常无菌部位分离出一株弗朗西斯菌属细菌的情况。微生物学和分子分析表明,这种微生物代表一种新型弗朗西斯菌属细菌。临床医生和微生物学家应意识到这种新的潜在病原体,因为感染可能比已认识到的更为常见。
