Six cases of Flavimonas oryzihabitans infection are presented, four of which were community-acquired pneumonia and two of which were nosocomially acquired bacteremia. All four cases of pneumonia occurred in immunosuppressed hosts, three of whom were HIV-positive individuals and one of whom was a young man affected by chronic myeloid leukemia. Flavimonas oryzihabitans is recognized with increasing frequency as a cause of opportunistic infection, but the present cases of community-acquired pneumonia due to this organism are believed to be the first four reported in the English literature. The findings emphasize that Flavimonas oryzihabitans should be included in the list of pathogens that cause community-acquired infections in the immunocompromised host.
本文报告了6例栖稻黄单胞菌感染病例，其中4例为社区获得性肺炎，2例为医院获得性菌血症。所有4例肺炎均发生在免疫抑制宿主中，其中3例为HIV阳性个体，1例为患有慢性髓性白血病的年轻人。栖稻黄单胞菌作为机会性感染的病因，其被认识的频率越来越高，但据信由该病原体引起的社区获得性肺炎的当前病例是英文文献中首次报道的4例。这些发现强调，栖稻黄单胞菌应列入导致免疫功能低下宿主社区获得性感染的病原体名单中。
