We report a community-acquired bloodstream infection with Acinteobacter ursingii in an HIV-negative woman who injected drugs. The infection was successfully treated with meropenem. Species identification was performed by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Improved identification of Acinetobacter spp. by using this method will help identify clinical effects of this underdiagnosed pathogen.
我们报告了一名注射毒品的HIV阴性女性发生的社区获得性嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌血流感染。该感染用美罗培南成功治愈。通过基质辅助激光解吸/电离飞行时间质谱进行菌种鉴定。使用该方法改进嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌的鉴定将有助于确定这种诊断不足的病原体的临床影响。
