We present the first case of severe pneumonia possibly caused by Leptotrichia species with oral bacteria. This was found in a healthy but elderly subject whose bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. The combination of this method and microscopic observation provided useful information for diagnosis and treatment.
我们报告首例可能由具核梭杆菌属口腔细菌引起的严重肺炎病例。该病例为一名健康的老年受试者,其支气管肺泡灌洗液通过16S rRNA基因测序分析进行检测。这种方法与显微镜观察相结合为诊断和治疗提供了有用信息。
