We report the first case of isolated from blood, causing bacteremia in an immunocompromised patient using the automated MicroScan Walk Away 96 system, followed by bacterial identification by amplification-sequencing of the 16S rDNA. The sequences obtained were compared with the reference sequence of the BLAST ® platform - National Library of Medicine, USA, and the isolation was identified as strain with 99.67 % identity in Blast report. In the literature we did not find previous reported cases of infections by this bacterium, however its pathogenic role is still controversial; therefore, this isolation alerts us to carry out an exhaustive surveillance of other possible acquisition routes.
我们报告了首例使用自动MicroScan Walk Away 96系统从血液中分离出的、导致免疫功能低下患者发生菌血症的病例，随后通过16S rDNA扩增测序进行细菌鉴定。将获得的序列与美国国立医学图书馆BLAST®平台的参考序列进行比较，在Blast报告中该分离株被鉴定为具有99.67%同一性的菌株。在文献中我们未发现此前有该细菌感染的报道病例，但其致病作用仍存在争议；因此，此次分离提醒我们要对其他可能的感染途径进行详尽监测。
