We report the first case of bacteremia by a novel Paenibacillus species, Paenibacillus pasadenensis, from a 55-year-old male patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome, following a microsurgical clipping procedure of a ruptured intracranial aneurysm. The bacterium was identified using 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis, which was applied because current conventional methods employed in the clinical microbiology laboratory proved unsuccessful. Since this bacterium was first identified in 2006 and has never been reported elsewhere, we believe this report can provide practitioners with useful insight on the pathogenicity of this species.
我们报告了首例由一种新型芽孢杆菌——帕萨迪纳芽孢杆菌引起的菌血症病例，该病例来自一名55岁患有急性呼吸窘迫综合征的男性患者，他在接受颅内动脉瘤破裂显微外科夹闭手术后发病。该细菌通过16S rRNA基因测序分析得以鉴定，之所以采用这种方法，是因为临床微生物实验室目前使用的传统方法未能成功鉴定。由于这种细菌于2006年首次被发现，且此前在其他地方从未有过报道，我们相信本报告可为从业者提供有关该菌种致病性的有用见解。
