Corynebacterium auriscanis has only previously been isolated from dogs and to our knowledge no cases of zoonotic transmission to humans have been reported. A case of a leg wound infection following a dog bite in a previously healthy human patient is described and confirms this organism to be a potential human pathogen.
耳道棒状杆菌此前仅从狗身上分离出来，据我们所知，尚未有该菌传染给人类的病例报道。本文描述了一例既往健康的人类患者被狗咬伤后腿部伤口感染的病例，证实了这种细菌是一种潜在的人类病原体。
