We report the case of a pacemaker-associated Bacillus cereus endocarditis in a nonimmunocompromised patient. Antibiotic treatment was ineffective, and the pacemaker had to be removed. B. cereus was cultured from several blood samples and from the pacemaker electrodes. This case underlines the contribution of the rpoB gene for Bacillus species determination.
我们报告了一例非免疫功能低下患者的起搏器相关蜡样芽孢杆菌心内膜炎。抗生素治疗无效，必须移除起搏器。从几个血液样本和起搏器电极中培养出蜡样芽孢杆菌。该病例强调了 rpoB 基因在芽孢杆菌属种鉴定中的作用。
