Microbacterium species are non-spore-forming, Gram-positive rods rarely associated with human disease. In this report, we describe the first case of bacteremia caused by Microbacterium binotii in a patient with sickle cell anemia. The utility of using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis along with phenotypic methods for identification is shown.
微杆菌属是不产芽孢的革兰阳性杆菌,很少与人类疾病有关。本报告描述了首例镰状细胞贫血患者由双微杆菌引起的菌血症。结果表明,16S rRNA 基因序列分析结合表型方法在鉴定中的应用具有重要价值。
