چکیده
colonies after 48 hours of incubation. The colonies became orange-salmon with prolonged incubation. Anaerobic plate (Schaedler agar) was negative. The organism was a weakly acid-fast grampositive bacillus which also showed rare branching. It was initially identified as an aerobic actinomycete. The confirmation of isolate identity was obtained by sequencing of a fragment of 1,202 bp from 16s rRNA using a previously reported method15. The sequence obtained showed a 100% homology with the G. bronchialis sequences deposited in GenBank, accesion no NR074529, HQ316192 among others. Sir,

Recurrent breast abscess caused by Gordonia bronchialis in an immunocompetent patient.
We present the first reported case of a recurrent breast infection caused by Gordonia bronchialis. The infection occurred in a 43-year-old immunocompetent female, and species level identification was obtained with 16S rRNA sequencing.
متن کاملGordonia bronchialis bacteremia and pleural infection: case report and review of the literature.
Gordonia species are aerobic actinomycetes recently recognized as causing human disease, often in the setting of intravascular catheter-related infections. We describe a case of Gordonia bronchialis bacteremia and pleural space infection in the absence of an indwelling intravascular catheter and review the breadth of reported infections with this emerging pathogen.
متن کاملBacteremia caused by Gordonia bronchialis in a patient with sequestrated lung.
Gordonia species have been recognized as pathogens in immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. We report the first case of bacteremia due to Gordonia bronchialis in a diabetic patient with a sequestrated lung. Species identification was confirmed with mycolic acid analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography and sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene.
متن کاملGordonia sternal wound infection treated with ceftaroline: case report and literature review
Introduction. Case reports have emerged with identification of Gordonia bronchialis infections including sternal wound infections and foreign bodies such as central lines and shunts. Case presentation. We present a case that demonstrates the need to consider Gordonia infection as a cause of sternal wound infection and highlights the utility of novel diagnostics to aid in the identification of u...
متن کاملSternal Osteomyelitis Caused by Gordonia bronchialis after Open-Heart Surgery
We report the case of a deep sternal wound infection with sternal osteomyelitis caused by Gordonia bronchialis after open-heart surgery. The isolate was identified as a G. bronchialis by 16S rRNA and hsp65 gene sequencing, having initially been misidentified as a Rhodococcus by a commercial phenotypic identification system.
