Gram-positive anaerobic cocci (GPAC) are responsible for 30% of anaerobic infections. Parvimonas micra is an emergent pathogen that is part of the oral and gastrointestinal commensal flora, and its role in several infection processes has recently emerged thanks to the improvement of diagnostic techniques. P. micra bacteraemia is reported in immunocompromised patients and is often complicated by abscesses. Here, we present a case study of multiple hepatic and brain abscesses caused by P. micra bacteraemia in a patient with complicated diverticulitis.
革兰阳性厌氧球菌(GPAC)占 30%的厌氧感染。小韦荣球菌是一种新兴病原体,属于口腔和胃肠道共生菌群,由于诊断技术的改进,其在多种感染过程中的作用最近才显现出来。小韦荣球菌菌血症见于免疫功能低下的患者,常并发脓肿。在这里,我们报告了一例复杂性憩室炎患者小韦荣球菌菌血症引起的多发性肝脓肿和脑脓肿的病例研究。
