The genus of bacteria is a group of Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria in the Enterobacteriaceae family. It is an uncommon cause of infection in humans except in specific settings, including hospital-acquired infections and in immunocompromised patients. In this report, we describe the case of a 12-year-old girl with sickle cell disease who presented with a picture of sepsis and was found to have species in her blood culture which was treated with antibiotics with a good response. From our literature review, risk factors were identified in the reported cases, for which further exploration is highly recommended.
该属细菌是肠杆菌科中的一组革兰氏阴性杆菌。除了在特定情况下，包括医院获得性感染和免疫功能低下的患者中，它是人类感染的罕见原因。在本报告中，我们描述了一名患有镰状细胞病的12岁女孩的病例，她出现了败血症的症状，血液培养中发现有该菌属，经抗生素治疗后反应良好。通过我们的文献综述，在报告的病例中确定了风险因素，强烈建议对此进行进一步探索。
