Nonfermenting coryneform bacteria identified as Brevibacterium spp. were isolated from routine clinical specimens. Four strains were derived from peritoneal fluid and has presumably been involved in the pathogenesis of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis peritonitis. Another five isolates most probably represented skin contaminants. Cell wall and lipid analyses confirmed the genus identification. Strains in this taxon are difficult to distinguish from other biochemically inactive and nonmotile coryneform species but show characteristics cellular fatty acid profiles. In vitro susceptibilities to commonly used antibiotics were determined.
从常规临床标本中分离出被鉴定为短杆菌属的非发酵棒状杆菌。4株分离自腹膜液,推测与持续性非卧床腹膜透析腹膜炎的发病机制有关。另外5株分离菌很可能代表皮肤污染物。细胞壁和脂质分析证实了属的鉴定。该分类群中的菌株很难与其他生化无活性且不运动的棒状菌种区分开来,但显示出特征性的细胞脂肪酸谱。测定了对常用抗生素的体外敏感性。
