A gram-negative bacteria designated DF-3 was cultured on multiple occasions from stool samples of a patient with common variable hypogammaglobulinemia and chronic diarrhea. Antibiotic therapy resulted in elimination of the organism and resolution of the patient's symptoms. DF-3 has not been linked previously to human disease; because of its fastidious growth characteristics and unique isolation requirements, it may be a rarely identified cause of diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms in immunocompromised patients.
从一名患有常见可变型低丙种球蛋白血症和慢性腹泻患者的粪便样本中多次培养出一种名为DF-3的革兰氏阴性菌。抗生素治疗使该菌被清除，患者症状得到缓解。DF-3此前未与人类疾病相关联；由于其生长特性挑剔且分离要求独特，它可能是免疫功能低下患者腹泻和其他胃肠道症状的一种罕见病因。
