We present the case of a 75-year-old woman admitted to hospital because of an infected pressure ulcer. Cultures revealed that the responsible bacterium was , which was successfully eradicated with ciprofloxacin. Over the last few years, there have been reports of new cases of infection caused by bacteria previously not thought to be harmful to humans, like . Previous cases were reported mostly in immunosuppressed patients and the present report is, to our knowledge, the first describing a pressure ulcer infected by this bacterium.
Bacteria previously not thought to be harmful to humans can cause disease. should be considered a potential cause of pressure ulcer infection.As may be resistant to many antibiotics, complete susceptibility testing should be mandatory.
我们报告一例75岁女性因感染性压疮入院的病例。培养结果显示致病细菌为 ,用环丙沙星成功根除。在过去几年中,有报告称以前被认为对人类无害的细菌出现了新的感染病例,如 。以前的病例大多报告于免疫抑制患者,据我们所知,本报告是首例描述由这种细菌感染的压疮。
以前被认为对人类无害的细菌可导致疾病。 应被视为压疮感染的潜在原因。由于 可能对多种抗生素耐药,必须进行全面的药敏试验。
