A case of Listeria monocytogenes skin infection in a man is presented. A 54-year-old male veterinary practitioner developed pustular changes on the skin of arms and hands after assisting with the delivery of a stillborn calf. Listeria monocytogenes was isolated from the skin lesions on the arms and from the bovine placenta. Listeria monocytogenes isolates were serotyped and genotyped with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) to confirm the suspected transmission of the pathogen from animal to human. All isolates were of serotype 4b with identical pulsotype. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of cutaneous listeriosis in which the evidence for zoonotic transmission of L. monocytogenes is supported by genotyping methods.
现报告 1 例男性李斯特菌皮肤感染病例。1 名 54 岁的男性兽医在协助处理 1 头死胎牛犊后，手臂和手部皮肤出现脓疱样改变。从手臂皮肤损伤处和牛胎盘分离出单核细胞增生李斯特菌。对李斯特菌分离株进行血清型和脉冲场凝胶电泳（PFGE）基因分型以确认从动物到人传播病原体的疑似传播。所有分离株均为血清型 4b，脉冲型相同。据我们所知，这是首例皮肤李斯特菌病的病例，通过基因分型方法支持李斯特菌从动物到人的人畜共患病传播的证据。
