文摘

Little is known about the virulence and clinical impact on humans from infection with Anaeroglobus geminates, an anaerobic gram-negative coccus belonging to the family Veillonellaceae. We report the first case of an Anaeroglobus geminates invasive infection in humans characterized by pneumonia complicated with empyema. The pathogen was initially identified as Veillonella spp. by an automatic identification system (Becton-Dickinson and Company, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) and definitively identified following 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequence analysis. The patient was cured by surgical decortication and antimicrobial therapy. In this case, the combination of effective antibiotics, surgical intervention, and adequate drainage successfully cured the patient.
