Although they are ubiquitous to aquatic environments, Aeromonas species have traditionally been considered nonvirulent; however, in the past 30 years, they have emerged as important human pathogens that can cause a wide spectrum of disease. In this study, we describe a case of recurrent Aeromonas bacteremia in an immunocompetent patient, and this exposure was linked to the patient's home well water supply.
虽然气单胞菌属在水生环境中无处不在,但传统上被认为是非致病性的;然而,在过去的 30 年里,它们已成为重要的人类病原体,可以引起广泛的疾病。在本研究中,我们描述了一例免疫功能正常的患者反复发作的气单胞菌菌血症病例,该暴露与患者家庭自备井水供应有关。
