a Gram-positive rod residing in the urinary tract, is responsible for urinary tract infections and their complications including but not limited to bacteremia and sepsis. is increasingly being detected in body fluid specimens owing to advancements in PCR techniques. This report describes an interesting case of an adult diabetic patient managed for Fournier's gangrene. was detected in the PCR of his wound cultures. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case of as the causative agent for Fournier's gangrene.
一种存在于泌尿道的革兰氏阳性杆菌,可导致尿路感染及其并发症,包括但不限于菌血症和败血症。由于聚合酶链反应(PCR)技术的进步,在体液标本中越来越多地检测到这种细菌。本报告描述了一例成年糖尿病患者因福尼尔坏疽接受治疗的有趣病例。在其伤口培养物的PCR检测中发现了这种细菌。据我们所知,这是第二例该细菌作为福尼尔坏疽病原体的病例。
