The name Psychrobacter immobilis recently has been proposed for a group of chiefly psychrotrophic, aerobic, gram-negative, nonmotile, oxidase-positive coccobacilli commonly found associated with fish, processed meat, and poultry products. This article reports an ocular infection in a 12-day-old newborn who acquired the infection in the hospital, probably because of frequent manipulations in a closed aerated incubator. Also, this report intends to alert microbiologists to opportunistic infections that might be confused with infections caused by unusual oxidase-positive, gram-negative diplococci and to the isolation of P. immobilis from a human infection.
最近有人提议将“不动嗜冷杆菌”这一名称用于一类主要为嗜冷菌、需氧、革兰氏阴性、无运动性、氧化酶阳性的球杆菌,这类细菌常见于鱼类、加工肉类和家禽产品中。本文报道了一名12日龄新生儿在医院获得的眼部感染,可能是由于在封闭的充气培养箱中频繁操作所致。此外,本报告旨在提醒微生物学家注意可能与不寻常的氧化酶阳性革兰氏阴性双球菌引起的感染相混淆的机会性感染,以及从人类感染中分离出不动嗜冷杆菌的情况。
