Leuconostoc species are gaining importance as pathogenic organisms. We present the first case of odontogenic infection caused by Leuconostoc spp. Isolates initially identified as streptococci were found to be vancomycin resistant. Rigorous bacteriologic investigation subsequently classified these organisms as Leuconostoc mesenteroides.
明串珠菌属作为病原菌正变得越来越重要。我们报告首例由明串珠菌属引起的牙源性感染病例。最初鉴定为链球菌的分离株被发现对万古霉素耐药。随后通过严格的细菌学调查将这些微生物归类为肠系膜明串珠菌。
