We report a case of acute enteritis caused by Shewanella algae in a cirrhotic patient. Biochemical identification systems revealed to be insufficient to identify the Shewanella isolate at the species level, thus requiring 16S rRNA and gyrB partial gene sequencing. Even if co-infection by Clostridium difficile could not be ruled out, this is, to our knowledge, the first report of acute enteritis caused by Shewanella algae in Europe.
我们报告了一例肝硬化患者由嗜水气单胞菌引起的急性肠炎病例。生化鉴定系统显示不足以在种水平鉴定嗜水气单胞菌分离株,因此需要进行16S rRNA和gyrB部分基因测序。即使不能排除艰难梭菌的共感染,但据我们所知,这是欧洲首例由嗜水气单胞菌引起的急性肠炎报告。
