Selenomonas species are crescent shaped Gram-negative bacilli with a characteristic tuft of flagella located on the concave surface. They are normally found in human gingiva or the rumen of herbivores. The first case of Selenomonas bacteraemia to be reported in a patient immunocompromised by malignant disease is described and the two previously reported cases of Selenomonas bacteraemia as reviewed. The importance of careful anaerobic culturing to recover the organism and special diagnostic techniques to classify the bacteria as Selenomonas species are emphasised. These organisms may cause serious human disease including bacteraemia.
月形单胞菌属细菌呈新月形，为革兰氏阴性杆菌，在凹面有一丛特征性鞭毛。它们通常存在于人类牙龈或食草动物的瘤胃中。本文描述了首例在因恶性疾病而免疫受损的患者中报告的月形单胞菌败血症病例，并对之前报告的两例月形单胞菌败血症病例进行了回顾。强调了通过仔细的厌氧培养来分离该菌的重要性以及将该细菌鉴定为月形单胞菌属的特殊诊断技术。这些微生物可能会导致包括败血症在内的严重人类疾病。
