Corynebacterium aquaticum urinary tract infection developed in a neonate 8 days after uncomplicated vaginal delivery. Prior to definitive identification, the isolate was thought to be Listeria monocytogenes because of its microscopic morphology, catalase positivity, and tumbling motility. The infant responded to intravenous ceftriaxone. Because the presentation of C. aquaticum in this patient suggested systemic involvement, C. aquaticum may be regarded as a bona fide neonatal pathogen.
一名新生儿在顺产8天后发生了水生棒状杆菌尿路感染。在明确鉴定之前，由于其微观形态、过氧化氢酶阳性和翻滚运动，该分离株被认为是单核细胞增生李斯特菌。婴儿对静脉注射头孢曲松有反应。由于该患者中水生棒状杆菌的表现提示有全身感染，水生棒状杆菌可被视为一种真正的新生儿病原体。
