Globicatella sanguinis is a rare microorganism known to affect the bloodstream, urinary tract, and central nervous system. We report a case of Globicatella sanguinis ocular infection in a 9-year-old boy, who presented with a corneal abscess with endophthalmitis, following trauma. Isolation of the infection using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and determination of its antibiotic sensitivity via Vitek 2 highlight the important role of microbiology laboratories for the diagnosis and management of infections caused by atypical microorganisms.
血 Globicephala 是一种罕见的微生物，已知会影响血液、尿路和中枢神经系统。我们报告了一例 9 岁男孩血 Globicephala 眼部感染病例，该患者因外伤后出现角膜脓肿伴眼内炎。使用基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱法进行感染分离，并通过 Vitek 2 测定其抗生素敏感性，突出了微生物学实验室在诊断和治疗由非典型微生物引起的感染方面的重要作用。
