Abstract

Catabacter hongkongensis, an increasingly recognized bacteria in clinical samples, was identified by direct metagenomic sequencing of positive blood culture fluid from a 55-year-old patient with colonic perforation. The bacteremia was cleared by both antibiotic treatment and surgical intervention. This is the first case report of C. hongkongensis infection in the US.

摘要

红孔菌，临床样本中越来越被认可的细菌，通过对一名55岁的结肠穿孔患者的阳性血培养液进行直接宏基因组测序鉴定。抗生素治疗和手术干预均清除了菌血症。这是美国首例报告的香港梭菌感染病例。
