We report the case of a 6-month-old male infant with bacterial pericarditis due to Lactobacillus iners. Although the culture of pericardial fluid was negative, L. iners was identified by 16S rRNA gene amplification by polymerase chain reaction and a subsequent sequence analysis. This weakly pathogenic bacterium could develop a severe infection in infants.
我们报告了一例由惰性乳杆菌引起的 6 月龄男性婴儿细菌性心包炎。虽然心包液培养为阴性,但通过聚合酶链反应(PCR)扩增 16S rRNA 基因并进行后续序列分析鉴定出了惰性乳杆菌。这种弱致病菌可导致婴儿发生严重感染。
