Enterococci are important microorganisms of the gut microbiome in many mammals and cause millions of infections annually. An increasing resistance to antibiotics has led to their emergence as superinfecting nosocomial pathogens in humans. is rarely identified in humans. In this study, we present a case of the polymicrobial osteomyelitis involving in a 33-year-old male patient with traumatic tibia-fibula fracture after a motor vehicle accident. He underwent a right below-the-knee amputation and antibiotics with excellent improvement. Our case study helps to confirm the unexpected presence of in a human specimen. Further studies are needed to elucidate the clinical implications of .
肠球菌是许多哺乳动物肠道微生物群中的重要微生物,每年导致数百万例感染。对抗生素的耐药性不断增加,使其成为人类医院内超级感染病原体。在人类中很少被发现。在本研究中,我们报告了一例33岁男性机动车事故后胫腓骨骨折患者发生的由[未提及的微生物]引起的多微生物性骨髓炎病例。他接受了右膝下截肢手术并使用了抗生素,病情有显著改善。我们的病例研究有助于证实[未提及的微生物]在人体标本中的意外存在。需要进一步研究以阐明[未提及的微生物]的临床意义。
