A soft tissue infection caused by Kluyvera species in a previously healthy woman is described. Successful treatment required incision and drainage of the wound in addition to administration of antibiotics. Kluyvera species are indole positive, Voges-Proskauer negative members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Previous reports of infection due to Kluyvera species suggest that the organism is never more than an opportunistic pathogen; however, we report the first case of infection in a previously healthy host.
本文描述了一名既往健康女性由克吕沃菌属引起的软组织感染。除使用抗生素外，成功治疗还需对伤口进行切开引流。克吕沃菌属是肠杆菌科中吲哚阳性、Voges-Proskauer阴性的成员。先前关于克吕沃菌属感染的报道表明，该菌至多只是一种机会致病菌；然而，我们报告了首例发生在既往健康宿主身上的感染病例。
