is a rare and unique species among the genus that has not been previously reported as a cause of male genitourinary tract infection. In this report, we describe a case of a 20-year-old immunocompetent male who presented with recurrent epididymo-orchitis, which was initially misidentified as Vibrio vulnificus and treated successfully. The causative agent could not be identified appropriately using the available routine methods, but a final identification was established using 16S rRNA targeted sequencing followed by whole-genome sequencing.
是该属中一种罕见且独特的物种，此前尚未有作为男性泌尿生殖道感染病因的报道。在本报告中，我们描述了一例20岁免疫功能正常男性反复出现附睾炎-睾丸炎的病例，该病例最初被误诊为创伤弧菌并成功治愈。使用现有的常规方法无法正确鉴定病原体，但通过16S rRNA靶向测序，随后进行全基因组测序确定了最终鉴定结果。
