Reports of unusual microorganisms causing human infections are on the rise due to transitions in epidemiological trends. Commensal/normal flora which are otherwise termed as 'good bacteria' are now causing infections in different group of patients, mostly immunocompromised individuals. Various host and environmental factors play a pivotal role in microbial transmigration from their normal habitat into the blood and other body sites. We report one such 'good bacterium' associated with sepsis in a patient who was given the same bacterium in the form of probiotics.
由于流行病学趋势的转变,关于异常微生物导致人类感染的报告正在增加。原本被称为“有益细菌”的共生菌/正常菌群,现在正在不同患者群体中引发感染,其中大多数是免疫功能低下的个体。各种宿主和环境因素在微生物从其正常栖息地迁移到血液和身体其他部位的过程中起着关键作用。我们报告了一例这样的“有益细菌”与败血症相关的病例,该患者曾以益生菌的形式摄入了这种细菌。
