This article details the first reported case of neonatal osteomyelitis caused by a nonhemolytic group B streptococcus. The identification of the organism was delayed due to the lack of hemolysis on blood agar plates. Therefore, the infant was treated with a more toxic regimen of antibiotics than would have otherwise been indicated. Successful treatment of this nonhemolytic group B streptococcal osteomyelitis included a combination of both parenteral and oral antibiotics. Proper identification of nonhemolytic streptococcal infections in the infant is essential to ensure safe and accurate antibiotic treatment.
本文详细介绍了首例由非溶血性B组链球菌引起的新生儿骨髓炎病例。由于血琼脂平板上缺乏溶血现象，该病原体的鉴定被延迟。因此，给予婴儿的抗生素治疗方案比原本所需的毒性更大。这种非溶血性B组链球菌骨髓炎的成功治疗包括肠外和口服抗生素联合使用。正确识别婴儿中的非溶血性链球菌感染对于确保安全、准确的抗生素治疗至关重要。
