Butyricimonas virosa bacteraemia and bowel disease: case report and review
Only two cases of human infection with the anaerobic Gram-negative bacillus Butyricimonas virosa have been previously reported. We describe the case of a 69-year-old man with B. virosa and diverticulitis, further supporting an association of bacteraemia with this pathogen to bowel disease. We also summarize the characteristics of the previously described cases.
متن کاملEvaluation of PCR amplification from fixed caecal tissue to determine the infection of experimentally infected laying hens with Brachyspira pilosicoli
Avian intestinal spirochaetosis (AIS) is a condition arising from colonization of the caeca and colon of birds with anaerobic spirochaetes of the genus Brchyspira. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate PCR amplification from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue method for detecting infected laying hens with Brachyspira pilosicoli with the same primers that have been used for det...
متن کاملBloodstream infection due to Brachyspira pilosicoli in a patient with multiorgan failure.
Brachyspira pilosicoli is an etiological agent of human intestinal spirochetosis. Bloodstream infection due to this microorganism is rare. We report a case of B. pilosicoli bacteremia in a 70-year-old patient who presented with multiorgan failure.
متن کاملButyricimonas virosa: the first clinical case of bacteraemia
The strictly anaerobic Gram-negative bacteria Butyricimonas species have recently been described in human faeces and have to our knowledge not been isolated in infectious clinical materials. We report the first case of Butyricimonas virosa bacteraemia in a 72-year-old man with colon adenocarcinoma, who underwent aortic aneurysm replacement surgery.
متن کاملButyricimonas virosa bacteraemia identified by MALDI-TOF
We read with interest the recent report by Ulger Toprak et al. [1] reporting the first case of Butyricimonas virosa bacteraemia published earlier this year. Here we describe the case of a 72year-old man with colon cancer who presented with septic shock after aortic aneurysm surgery, with Butyricimonas virosa recovered from blood cultures. This anaerobic bacteria and related species had been pre...
