Abstract：
Bacillus pumilus (B. pumilus) is a ubiquitous spore-forming bacteria that has rarely been implicated in extraintestinal infections, mostly in immunocompromised hosts. The authors report a case of B. pumilus cellulitis with bacteremia in a person who injects drugs living with human immunodeficiency virus-hepatitis C virus (HIV-HCV) co-infection. Although similar cases have been reported for some species of the genus, namely Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis) and Bacillus cereus (B. cereus), this case reinforces the importance of considering other Bacillus spp. as potential pathogens in skin and soft tissue infections and bloodstream infections related to intravenous drug use.
摘要：
短小芽孢杆菌(B.pumilus）是一种普遍存在的孢子形成细菌，很少涉及肠外感染，主要在免疫受损的宿主中。作者报告了一例短小芽孢杆菌蜂窝织炎伴菌血症的患者，该患者注射了与人类免疫缺陷病毒-丙型肝炎病毒（HIV-HCV）共感染的药物。尽管该属的某些物种也有类似的病例报道，即炭疽芽孢杆菌(B.炭疽)和蜡状芽孢杆菌(B.蜡质)，这种情况加强了考虑其他芽孢杆菌属的重要性。作为潜在的病原体在皮肤和软组织感染和血液感染相关的静脉用药。
