ABSTRACT

Alistipes spp is a genus of Gram-negative anaerobic rods involved in very few human diseases. We report the first case of abdominal infection due to Alistipes onderdonkii in a 58-year-old man with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He presented with abdominal pain and general malaise after retrogastric drainage for a pancreatitis episode a few days earlier. After the diagnosis of diffuse peritonitis with perforation and necrotizing pancreatic collection, abundant pancreatic fluid was drained and yielded the isolation of A. onderdonkii in pure culture. Resistance to penicillin and moxifloxacin was documented for this strain. Treatment with metronidazole was prescribed, and the patient was discharged after improvement of his general condition.

ABSTRACT

The objectives of this study were to report on the antimicrobial susceptibility of 141 clinically significant anaerobic bacteria isolated from bloodstream infections between January 2016 and April 2020 in a tertiary-care hospital in Granada (Spain) and to describe the main clinical features of the patients. Species identification was performed by MALDI-TOF MS (Bruker Daltonics, Billerica, MA, USA). Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed against penicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, imipenem, moxifloxacin, clindamycin, metronidazole, and piperacillin-tazobactam using the gradient diffusion technique and EUCAST breakpoints, except for moxifloxacin (CLSI breakpoints). The most frequent anaerobes were Bacteroides (43.9%, n = 62), Clostridium (24.1%, n = 34) and Gram-positive anaerobic cocci (GPACs) (15.6%, n = 22). Almost all tested anaerobes were susceptible to imipenem and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, except for Bacteroides. High overall resistance rates to clindamycin were observed, especially for Gram-positive anaerobic cocci (GPACs) (54.5%) and for Bacteroides spp. (45.1%). Overall, low resistance rates to almost all antibiotics were observed for Clostridium. High resistance rates to penicillin were also observed for Gram-positive anaerobic bacilli (GPABs) (44.4%), as well as to metronidazole (22.2%), although only nine isolates were included. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing for anaerobes should always be performed in severe infections, such as those localized in the bloodstream. The information obtained contributes to selecting empirical treatments according with local data on resistance.

ABSTRACT

Eggerthia catenaformis is a Gram-positive anaerobic rod, which has been rarely reported in human diseases. We report the second case of bacteremia due to this microorganism in an elderly patient. A 73-year-old man, without underlying diseases presented with fever, odynophagia and swelling of the cervical lymph node for several days. Culture of drained cervical fluid resulted in the isolation of Raoultella ornithinolytica and Streptococcus anginosus. Anaerobic blood cultures yielded a rare anaerobic microorganism, identified as Eggerthia catenaformis. No resistance to tested antimicrobials was documented. Treatment with drainage and several antibiotic regimens was established, and the general condition of the patient improved, at two months of follow-up.

ABSTRACT

Trueperella bernardiae es un microorganismo grampositivo facultativo anaerobio que forma parte de la microbiota normal de la piel y de la orofaringe, que recientemente ha sido reasignado l género Trueperella. Este patógeno ha sido descrito en muy pocos casos como causante de infección en los seres humanos, debido a su aspecto corineforme y su presencia en cultivos mixtos, y a las dificultades diagnósticas
