Achromobacter animicus (A. animicus) is an aerobic, motile, gram-negative, non-fermenting small bacillus that can also grow anaerobically with potassium nitrate. It has been isolated from sputum of humans suffering from respiratory infections. Literature regarding the role of A. animicus in wound infections is limited. We report a first case of a chronic post-traumatic wound infection caused by a multidrug-resistant A. animicus in a street child from Africa and accompanied diagnostic challenges.
嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌(Achromobacter animicus,A. animicus)是一种需氧、有鞭毛、革兰氏阴性、不发酵的小杆菌,也可在有硝酸钾的情况下厌氧生长。它已从患有呼吸道感染的人类痰液中分离出来。关于嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌在伤口感染中作用的文献有限。我们报告了首例由一株多重耐药嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌引起的慢性创伤后伤口感染病例,该病例发生在一名来自非洲的流浪儿童身上,并伴有诊断挑战。
