, an aerobic, non-fermenting, Gram-negative bacterium, is an emerging nosocomial pathogen. It is considered to be a low-grade pathogen, and infections due to are uncommon. However, in the recent past, infections have been on the rise, particularly in patients who are either immunocompromised, aged or on long-term antibiotic therapy. Endocarditis due to is extremely rare. This is a report of two patients with endocarditis who were diagnosed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
嗜水气单胞菌是一种需氧、不发酵、革兰氏阴性细菌，是一种新兴的医院获得性病原体。它被认为是一种低级别病原体，由嗜水气单胞菌引起的感染并不常见。然而，在最近一段时间，由嗜水气单胞菌引起的感染呈上升趋势，特别是在免疫功能低下、年老或长期接受抗生素治疗的患者中。由嗜水气单胞菌引起的心内膜炎极为罕见。本文报告了通过 16S rRNA 基因测序诊断的两例嗜水气单胞菌心内膜炎患者。
