Abstract:
Leuconostoc species are rare causes of bacteremia and are commonly mistaken for Streptococcus species. Due to their inherent resistance to commonly used drugs, they are often overlooked resulting in poor and sometimes lethal outcomes. While there are not many reported cases of this bacterial infection, Leuconostoc species are important to consider when faced with a highly drug-resistant bacterial strain. We present here a case of a 29-year-old male who presented with an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, initially resuscitated but ultimately succumbing to his illness. This is a unique case in which our patient was subsequently found to have a rare bloodstream infection with Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides.
摘要:
明串珠菌种是菌血症的罕见原因,通常被误认为是链球菌。由于其对常用药物的固有抗性,它们经常被忽视,导致不良的,有时是致命的结果。虽然这种细菌感染的报道并不多,当面对高度耐药的细菌菌株时,明串珠菌种是重要的考虑因素。我们在这里介绍一个29岁的男性,他出现了院外心脏骤停,最初复苏,但最终屈服于他的病。这是一个独特的病例,随后我们的患者被发现患有一种罕见的假肠列菌感染。
