This is the first report of an orbital abscess caused by Gemella bergeri, uncommonly identified in cardiac valvular infections. Through matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), microbial identification and speciation resulted in timely identification and appropriate management. Successful management includes accurate microbial identification, incision and drainage, and broad-spectrum antibiotics.
这是首例由伯杰孪生球菌引起的眼眶脓肿报告,该菌在心脏瓣膜感染中罕见被发现。通过基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱(MALDI-TOF MS)进行微生物鉴定和分类,实现了及时鉴定和恰当处理。成功的处理措施包括准确的微生物鉴定、切开引流以及使用广谱抗生素。
