چکیده
We report herein the first case of acute acalculous cholecystitis caused by Lactococcus garvieae, which is known as a fish pathogen. A 69-year-old fisherman underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to severe inflammation in the gallbladder. The isolate obtained from the gallbladder was identified as L. garvieae by 16S rRNA and manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase (sodA) gene sequence analysis.

متن کاملA case of endocarditis caused by Lactococcus garvieae and suggested methods for identification.
Lactococcus garvieae is a Gram-positive coccus that has morphological and biochemical similarities to enterococci. L. garvieae strains rare human pathogens, with only a few cases reported in the literature, mainly as a cause of infective endocarditis. L. garvieae is well known as a fish pathogen, and in some of the reported cases, the patients had a history of contact with raw fish. Some of the...
