Tatumella ptyseos is the type species of the Tatumella genus (Enterobacteriaceae). This fermentative Gram-negative rod has only rarely been reported as a cause of human infections; there is very little information about it in the medical literature. We report here the first two Brazilian cases of T. ptyseos infections, both evolving to severe sepsis.
普氏塔特姆菌是塔特姆菌属(肠杆菌科)的模式种。这种发酵型革兰氏阴性杆菌作为人类感染的病因仅有极少的报道;医学文献中关于它的信息非常少。我们在此报告巴西首例两例普氏塔特姆菌感染病例,两例均发展为严重脓毒症。
