A subcutaneous infection mimicking necrotizing fasciitis due to Butyricimonas virosa

Abstract: Introduction: B. virosa is a gram-negative rod who was first identified in rat faeces in 2009. Since then only six human infections have been described in literature. We report a clinical case of a subcutaneous infection mimicking necrotizing fasciitis due to B. virosa. Patient and methods: A 78-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of a wound infection with suspicion of necrotizing fasciitis. Treatment consisted of immediate surgical exploration with obtainment of intra-operative specimens for mic… Show more

“…perfringens and A . butzleri can be pathogens or opportunistic pathogens (but also commensal) in humans (Elhag et al ., 1986; Sack et al ., 1992; Prouzet‐Mauléon et al ., 2006; García and Heredia, 2011; Titécat et al ., 2014; Kiu and Hall, 2018; De Donder et al ., 2019; Henke et al ., 2019).

“…7; Table 2, Supplementary File 1). Species such as Ruminococcus gnavus, B. fragilis, C. perfringens and A. butzleri can be pathogens or opportunistic pathogens (but also commensal) in humans (Elhag et al, 1986;Sack et al, 1992;Prouzet-Mauléon et al, 2006;García and Heredia, 2011;Titécat et al, 2014;Kiu and Hall, 2018;De Donder et al, 2019;Henke et al, 2019). Other species have been associated with disease in animals, such as U. suis (Vela et al, 2005) and some species have also been associated with damage to aquatic life, such as F. succinicans and F. branchiophilum (Vendrell et al, 2006;Good et al, 2015).…”

“…Abundant Desulfovibrio is the inducer in intestinal pathogenesis, which can induce intestinal epithelial cells abnormal proliferation and metabolism and even impair intestinal barrier function ( Gill et al, 2006 ). The relative abundance of Romboutsia , Butyricimonas , and Parabacteroides in soil significantly enriched with the increasing degree of excrement contamination, which might be dangerous information because these three genera pose a big threat to host health ( Ricaboni et al, 2016 ; Kierzkowska et al, 2018 ; De Donder et al, 2020 ). More than 90% of the yaks in the world live in the plateaus of China (> 3,000 m), facing harsh environmental conditions, especially at calve stage ( Wang et al, 2018 ).…”
