Corynebacterium striatum, which is a common coloniser of human skin and mucous membranes, is increasingly being recognised as an emerging pathogen. We present a case of a 69-year-old woman with empyema and osteomyelitis caused by C. striatum. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case where these two infections from this bacterium were identified together in the same individual.
纹带棒状杆菌是人类皮肤和黏膜的常见定植菌,越来越多地被认为是一种新兴病原体。我们报告一例由纹带棒状杆菌引起的脓胸和骨髓炎的69岁女性病例。据我们所知,这是首例在同一患者中同时发现由该细菌引起的这两种感染的病例。
