Endocarditis caused by Haemophilus parainfluenzae identified by 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing.
Haemophilus parainfluenzae, a human commensal, is an infrequent cause of serious disease. A case of endocarditis caused by this organism in a five year old boy with complex congenital heart disease is reported. The course of this disease was very aggressive, leading to heart failure, disseminated intravascular coagulation and multiorgan failure in spite of appropriate antibiotics and surgical i...
متن کاملSurgical site abscess caused by Lactobacillus fermentum identified by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing.
We report the first case of surgical site abscess caused by Lactobacillus fermentum from a 53-year-old woman with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus after transthoracic esophagectomy and neoadjuvant chemoirradiation. 16S rRNA gene sequencing is a useful tool to better characterize the epidemiology and clinical significance of L. fermentum.
متن کاملGlobicatella bacteraemia identified by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing.
BACKGROUND Globicatella are streptococcus-like organisms that have been rarely isolated from clinical specimens. Their epidemiology and clinical significance remain largely unknown. AIMS To describe two cases of Globicatella bacteraemia identified by 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing. METHODS Two unidentified streptococcus-like bacteria isolated from blood cultures of patients were s...
متن کاملPolymicrobial infective endocarditis caused by Neisseria sicca and Haemophilus parainfluenzae
Infective endocarditis is a common clinical problem in industrialized countries. Risk factors include abnormal cardiac valves, a history of endocarditis, intracardiac devices, prosthetic valves and intravenous drug use. We report a case of polymicrobial infective endocarditis in a 33 year-old female with a history chronic heroin use caused by Neisseria sicca and Haemophilus parainfluenzae. We b...
متن کاملNeonatal Meningitis by Multidrug Resistant Elizabethkingia meningosepticum Identified by 16S Ribosomal RNA Gene Sequencing
Clinical and microbiological profile of 9 neonates with meningitis by Elizabethkingia meningosepticum identified by 16S ribosomal gene sequencing was studied. All the clinical isolates were resistant to cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, β -lactam combinations, carbapenems and only one isolate was susceptible to ciprofloxacin. All the isolates were susceptible to va...
