Eubacterium is a commensal of the human gastrointestinal tract. In rare instances this organism can become blood-borne. Nine cases of bacteremia were described and eight cases were found in the medical literature. Thirteen of the 17 cases (76%) had active gastrointestinal disease leading to the Eubacterium bacteremia. It is suggested that recovery of Eubacterium in blood culture should alert the clinician to the possibility of active gastrointestinal disease including occult neoplasms.
优杆菌是人类胃肠道的共生菌。在极少数情况下，这种微生物可进入血液循环。本文描述了9例菌血症病例，医学文献中还发现了8例。17例中的13例（76%）有导致优杆菌菌血症的活动性胃肠道疾病。有人提出，血培养中发现优杆菌应提醒临床医生注意存在包括隐匿性肿瘤在内的活动性胃肠道疾病的可能性。
