is a part of the normal skin flora and has been underestimated as a pathogen. However, in recent years, the species has gained recognition as an important pathogen causing severe infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Nevertheless, identifying these organisms at the species level is difficult in routine clinical microbiology, leading to limited knowledge of their clinical manifestations in infectious diseases. In this study, we report a rare case of multiple subcutaneous abscesses in a patient with severe neutropenia, wherein was identified as the causative organism through genotyping tests. This case highlights the importance of this organism as an aetiological agent of severe skin infections in patients with compromised immune systems.
是正常皮肤菌群的一部分,一直被低估为病原体。然而,近年来,该菌种已被公认为是引起严重感染的重要病原体,尤其是在免疫功能低下的患者中。尽管如此,在常规临床微生物学中,在菌种水平上鉴定这些微生物很困难,导致我们对它们在传染病中的临床表现了解有限。在本研究中,我们报告了一例严重中性粒细胞减少患者发生多处皮下脓肿的罕见病例,通过基因分型检测确定 为病原体。该病例突出了这种微生物作为免疫系统受损患者严重皮肤感染病原体的重要性。
