Achromobacter xylosoxidans was isolated from six patients. The organism causes opportunistic infections in patients who are compromised. A. xylosoxidans is a catalase- and oxidase-positive, motile, gram-negative rod that oxidizes xylose and glucose. The organism exists in a water environment and may be confused with Pseudomonas species. Unlike pseudomonas, achromobacter has peritrichous flagella. The clinical and laboratory characteristics of A. xylosoxidans are presented.
从六名患者中分离出了木糖氧化无色杆菌。该菌在免疫功能低下的患者中引起机会性感染。木糖氧化无色杆菌是一种过氧化氢酶和氧化酶阳性、能运动的革兰氏阴性杆菌，可氧化木糖和葡萄糖。该菌存在于水环境中，可能会与假单胞菌属混淆。与假单胞菌不同，无色杆菌有周鞭毛。本文介绍了木糖氧化无色杆菌的临床和实验室特征。
