species are bacteria found commonly in environmental sources, such as water and soil. Despite this, they are historically uncommon pathogens, tending to affect primarily immunocompromised hosts. Based on a review of the current cases listed in the U.S. National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine (Table 1), there have been 48 reported cases of infection to date, one third of which have been reported in only the last seven years. This report outlines a case of bacteremia caused by species occurring in a diabetic male on chemotherapy for Merkel cell cancer. species can be difficult to treat, many strains are resistant to several antibacterial classes, this patient was treated successfully with meropenem.
该物种是常见于环境来源（如水和土壤）中的细菌。尽管如此，它们在历史上是不常见的病原体，主要倾向于感染免疫功能低下的宿主。根据对美国国立卫生研究院国家医学图书馆列出的当前病例的回顾（表1），迄今为止已报告48例感染病例，其中三分之一是仅在过去七年中报告的。本报告概述了一例由该物种引起的菌血症病例，该病例发生在一名因默克尔细胞癌接受化疗的糖尿病男性身上。该物种可能难以治疗，许多菌株对几种抗菌类别耐药，该患者用美罗培南成功治疗。
