is a Gram-positive coccus bacterium first discovered in 1988 that is typically associated with skin and ear infections in dogs, cats and birds. It is infrequently described as a human pathogen. There are, however, emerging reports of infections in diverse clinical scenarios in humans, particularly in patients with weakened immune systems. may be underrecognised due to limitations in routine microbiology diagnostic protocols and mislabelling as other sp. We present a rare case of diabetic foot osteomyelitis with subsequent bacteraemia in an immunocompromised host.
是一种革兰氏阳性球菌,于 1988 年首次发现,通常与狗、猫和鸟类的皮肤和耳部感染有关。它很少被描述为人病原体。然而,越来越多的报告描述了在各种临床情况下人类感染 ,特别是在免疫系统较弱的患者中。由于常规微生物诊断方案的限制和错误标记为其他 种属,可能存在认识不足的情况。我们报告了一例免疫功能低下宿主罕见的 糖尿病足骨髓炎伴随后的菌血症病例。
