Eikenella corrodens is a capnophilic gram-negative rod that is part of the normal human oral flora. We report the isolation of E. corrodens by transtracheal aspiration or percutaneous aspiration from 7 patients with pneumonia and/or lung abscess. Four of the 7 patients had an associated carcinoma of the lung. The susceptibilities of strains were tested to penicillin, dicloxacillin, clindamycin, and 10 cephalosporins. All strains were very susceptible to penicillin and cefoxitin and resistant to dicloxacillin and clindamycin. Susceptibilities of strains to the cephalosporins were variable. E. corrodens has been increasingly identified as a pathogen and should be recognized as an etiologic agent of pneumonia, especially in cases not responding to therapy with a penicillinase-resistant penicillin, clindamycin, or cephalosporin.
腐蚀艾肯菌是一种嗜二氧化碳的革兰氏阴性杆菌，是人类口腔正常菌群的一部分。我们报告了通过经气管吸引或经皮穿刺吸引从7例肺炎和/或肺脓肿患者中分离出腐蚀艾肯菌。7例患者中有4例伴有肺癌。对分离菌株进行了青霉素、双氯西林、克林霉素和10种头孢菌素的药敏试验。所有菌株对青霉素和头孢西丁非常敏感，对双氯西林和克林霉素耐药。菌株对头孢菌素的药敏情况各不相同。腐蚀艾肯菌越来越多地被确认为病原体，尤其在对耐青霉素酶青霉素、克林霉素或头孢菌素治疗无反应的病例中，应被视为肺炎的病原体。
