Abstract:
The Pantoea genus of bacteria is a group of Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria in the Enterobacteriaceae family. It is an uncommon cause of infection in humans except in specific settings, including hospital-acquired infections and in immunocompromised patients. In this report, we describe the case of a 12-year-old girl with sickle cell disease who presented with a picture of sepsis and was found to have Pantoea species in her blood culture which was treated with antibiotics with a good response. From our literature review, risk factors were identified in the reported cases, for which further exploration is highly recommended.
摘要:
泛菌属细菌是肠杆菌科中的一组革兰氏阴性杆状细菌。除了在特定环境中,它是人类感染的罕见原因,包括医院获得性感染和免疫功能低下的患者。在这份报告中,我们描述了一例患有镰状细胞病的12岁女孩的病例,她出现了脓毒症的照片,发现她的血液培养物中有Pantoea种,接受抗生素治疗后反应良好.从我们的文献综述来看,在报告的病例中确定了危险因素,强烈建议进一步探索。
