are gram-positive, lactic acid-producing, facultative anaerobes of the human microbiota located in the human gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, and the oral cavity and are considered non-pathogenic. When certain risk factors are present, they have the potential to cause serious infections. The incidence of localized infections associated with are rare and to our knowledge we present the first known case of severe soft tissue infection of the extremity linked to a strain.
We describe the case of a 41-year-old man with a history of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM), arterial hypertension and schizophrenia, who was admitted for weakness, high fever of 39.7 °C (103.5°F) and an abscess formation of the left thigh caused by an infection with .
While infections caused by are rare, it is crucial not to underestimate the potential of typically non-pathogenic bacteria like to act as infectious agents in immunocompromised patients. Abscess drainage and antibiotic treatment were successful treatment strategies for this rare case of soft tissue infection cause by
[细菌名称]是革兰氏阳性、产乳酸的兼性厌氧菌，存在于人类胃肠道、泌尿生殖道和口腔中，被认为是非致病性的。当存在某些危险因素时，它们有可能引发严重感染。与[细菌名称]相关的局部感染发病率很低，据我们所知，我们报告了首例与[细菌名称]菌株相关的严重肢体软组织感染病例。
我们描述了一名41岁男性的病例，他有2型糖尿病（DM）、动脉高血压和精神分裂症病史，因虚弱、39.7°C（103.5°F）的高热以及由[细菌名称]感染导致的左大腿脓肿形成而入院。
虽然由[细菌名称]引起的感染很少见，但至关重要的是不要低估像[细菌名称]这样通常非致病性细菌在免疫功能低下患者中作为感染源的可能性。脓肿引流和抗生素治疗是这种罕见的软组织感染病例的成功治疗策略。
