A patient undergoing chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia developed bacteraemia caused by Stomatococcus mucilaginosus while he was granulocytopenic. The organism may have been selected from the upper respiratory tract flora during prophylaxis with oral ciprofloxacin and then translocated to the blood stream via the mucosa. The strain produced an API-Staph profile indistinguishable from that of Micrococcus kristinae. Since a catalase-negative reaction is highly suggestive of S. mucilaginosus, the test should be performed routinely if this organism is not to be overlooked.
一名接受急性淋巴细胞白血病化疗的患者在粒细胞缺乏期间发生了由黏性口腔球菌引起的菌血症。在口服环丙沙星预防期间，该菌可能是从呼吸道菌群中被筛选出来，然后经黏膜转移至血流。该菌株产生的API葡萄球菌谱与克里斯蒂娜微球菌无法区分。由于过氧化氢酶阴性反应强烈提示为黏性口腔球菌，因此若要不漏诊该菌，应常规进行此项检测。
