We report the first human infection by a member of the Agromyces genus, a group of Gram-positive bacteria found in soil. A patient with a long-term venous catheter developed bacteremia due to a non-vancomycin-susceptible isolate of Agromyces mediolanus. Rapid identification was possible by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry.
我们报告了首例被土壤中发现的革兰氏阳性细菌土壤杆菌属的一个成员感染的人类病例。一名长期使用静脉导管的患者因一株对万古霉素不敏感的中间土壤杆菌分离株而发生菌血症。通过基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱法能够快速鉴定。
