In 2017 in France, we treated a patient with knee septic arthritis caused by Erwinia billingiae after trauma involving a palm tree. This rare pathogen could only be identified through 16S rRNA gene sequencing. For bacterial infections after injuries with plants, 16S rRNA gene sequencing might be required for species identification.
2017 年在法国,我们治疗了一位因外伤累及棕榈树而导致膝化脓性关节炎的患者,该感染由丁香假单胞菌引起。这种罕见的病原体只能通过 16S rRNA 基因测序来鉴定。对于植物外伤后发生的细菌感染,可能需要进行 16S rRNA 基因测序以鉴定菌种。
