Facklamia sp are Gram-positive cocci that are often mistaken for viridans streptococci, but they rarely cause invasive disease. In this report, we describe a case of mixed Facklamia sp and Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis in an immunocompetent host with sinusitis. This case demonstrates that Facklamia sp may be part of normal human flora but can be associated with invasive disease.
法克氏菌属是革兰阳性球菌，常被误认为是草绿色链球菌，但它们很少引起侵袭性疾病。在本报告中，我们描述了一例免疫功能正常的宿主合并鼻窦炎的法克氏菌属和肺炎链球菌混合性脑膜炎。该病例表明，法克氏菌属可能是正常人体菌群的一部分，但也可能与侵袭性疾病有关。
