Abstract

Bacillus cereus is a ubiquitous environmental micro-organism which is often a contaminant of clinical cultures. Infections due to B. cereus are described, but mostly in immunocompromised patients. We report a fatal outcome of B. cereus septicaemia in an immunocompetent patient with a mechanical mitral valve.

摘要

蜡样芽孢杆菌是一种普遍存在的环境微生物，常为临床培养物的污染物。蜡样芽孢杆菌引起的感染已有报道，但大多发生在免疫功能低下的患者中。我们报告了一例有机械二尖瓣的免疫功能正常患者发生蜡样芽孢杆菌败血症的致命病例。
