The first report of Ralstonia mannitolilytica bacteremia in Peru is presented. The patient was a pediatric cancer patient with a long-term central venous access device. For the diagnosis, the MicroScan Walk Away 96 automated system was used. 16S rDNA was amplified by conventional PCR, and the bacterial genus and species were identified by genetic sequencing. In addition, the bacterial resistance profile to major antimicrobials was determined. The article discusses the need to actively monitor Ralstonia mannitolilytica, especially in hospital areas of immunocompromised patients.
首次报道了秘鲁的曼尼托巴罗尔斯氏菌血症。患者为患有长期中心静脉置管的儿科癌症患者。该诊断使用了 MicroScan Walk Away 96 自动化系统。通过常规 PCR 扩增 16S rDNA，并通过基因测序鉴定细菌属和种。此外，还确定了细菌对主要抗菌药物的耐药谱。本文讨论了积极监测曼尼托巴罗尔斯氏菌的必要性，尤其是在免疫功能低下患者的医院区域。
