Sphingomonas species are ubiquitous gram-negative, aerobic bacteria frequently found in aquatic environments such as drinking water and very seldom in hemodialysis fluids or supposedly sterile drug solutions. Human infections with the gram-negative Sphingomonas species are rare and peritonitis with these organisms even rarer. Here we report a case of polymicrobial peritonitis due to Sphingomonas koreensis and Escherichia coli in a patient undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD).
鞘氨醇单胞菌属是普遍存在的革兰氏阴性需氧菌,常见于饮用水等水生环境中,很少见于血液透析液或所谓的无菌药物溶液中。人类感染革兰氏阴性鞘氨醇单胞菌属的情况罕见,由这些微生物引起的腹膜炎更是罕见。在此,我们报告一例正在接受腹膜透析(PD)的患者发生的由韩国鞘氨醇单胞菌和大肠杆菌引起的多微生物性腹膜炎病例。
