Chryseobacterium species are gaining importance as an emerging opportunistic nosocomial pathogen. Limited availability of clinical data necessitates reporting of such isolates. We report a case of nosocomial urinary tract infection by metallo-β-lactamase-producing Chryseobacterium gleum in an elderly diabetic male with chronic renal disease. Identification and antibiotic sensitivity test performed by conventional methods were confirmed by Matrix-assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight and VITEK-2 systems, respectively. The patient responded well to intravenous ciprofloxacin therapy.
金黄杆菌属作为一种新兴的机会性医院病原体正变得越来越重要。临床数据有限，因此有必要报告此类分离株。我们报告了一例老年糖尿病合并慢性肾病男性患者发生的由产金属β-内酰胺酶的黏金黄杆菌引起的医院获得性尿路感染。分别通过基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱和VITEK-2系统确认了用传统方法进行的鉴定和药敏试验结果。患者对静脉注射环丙沙星治疗反应良好。
