Two unusual cases of Aeromonas infection are described, one associated with bacteremia (Aeromonas schubertii) and another in which the organism was recovered from an infected gall bladder (Aeromonas veronii biotype veronii). These strains were initially identified as Vibrio damsela and Vibrio cholerae by the Vitek and API 20E systems, respectively. Use of appropriate screening tests and familiarity with the newer Aeromonas species could prevent initial misidentifications and potential public health consequences.
描述了两例罕见的气单胞菌感染病例,一例与菌血症相关(舒伯特气单胞菌),另一例是从感染的胆囊中分离出该菌(维隆气单胞菌维隆生物型)。这些菌株最初分别通过Vitek系统和API 20E系统被鉴定为美人鱼弧菌和霍乱弧菌。使用适当的筛查试验并熟悉较新的气单胞菌菌种可防止最初的错误鉴定以及潜在的公共卫生后果。
