“…In our study, we isolated 14 bacterial strains from 11 samples collected from six Romanian caves; some of these species could cause human infections. Aerococcus viridian is a rarely reported Gram-positive cocci, opportunistic organism in endocarditis or urinary tract infections [ 86 , 87 ]. Rhodococcus coprophilus is a Gram-positive aerobic bacteria that is a fecal indicator of freshwater [ 88 ].…”

The opportunistic infections with Gram-negative bacilli are frequently reported. The clinical studies are focused on the course of human infectious and very often the source of infection remain unclear. We aim to see if the Gram-negative bacilli isolated from a non-contaminated environment—the caves—are reported in human infections. Eleven samples were collected from six Romanian caves. We used the standard procedure used in our clinical laboratory for bacterial identification and for antibiotic susceptibility testing of the cave isolates. Out of the 14 bacterial strains, three isolates are Gram-negative bacilli—one isolate belong to Hafnia alvei and two strains belong to Sphingomonas paucimobilis. We screened for the published studies—full-text original articles or review articles—that reported human infections with S. paucimobilis and H. alvei. Data sources—PubMed and Cochrane library. We retrieved 447 cases from 49 references—262 cases (58.61%) are S. paucimobilis infections and 185 cases (41.39%) are H. alvei infections. The types of infections are diverse but there are some infections more frequent; there are 116 cases (44.27%) and many infections of the bloodstream with S. paucimobilius (116 cases) and 121 cases (65.41%) are urinary tract infections with H. alvei. The acquired source of the bloodstream infections is reported for 93 of S. paucimobilis bloodstream infections—50 cases (43%) are hospital-acquired, and 40 cases (37%) are community-acquired. Most of the infections are reported in patients with different underlying conditions. There are 80 cases (17.9%) are reported of previously healthy persons. Out of the 72 cases of pediatric infections, 62 cases (86.11%) are caused by S. paucimobilis. There are ten death casualties—three are H. alvei infections, and seven are S. paucimobilis infections.

“…viridans is an infrequent human pathogen commonly found in dust, raw vegetables, animals, and animal products, as well as human skin and urinary tract 7,8,11 . Other aeroccoci have been described as causative agents of IE 11 . This rare infection has been reported in 12 cases worldwide (Table 2), one of which is the case of a Brazilian patient 1 .…”

“…The association of penicillin or a cephalosporin and an aminoglycoside was prescribed in eight of the 12 cases (66.6%) reported. Surgical approach was chosen in five 1,8,11 . In our case, the ceftriaxone and gentamicin regimen was adopted and the patient responded well.…”

“…In our study, we found that several types of infectious bacteria exist on the surfaces and air inside the barrier system. Among them, proteus mirabilis can cause urinary tract infection, nephrolith and cystic calculus, sepsis [20,21]; staphylococcus nepalensis has zoonotic potential [22]; staphylococcus sciuri ssp sciuri [23], and staphylococcus xylosus [24] are pathogenic and resistant to different antibiotics; and aerococcus viridans can cause serious infection [25,26]. The existence of these bacteria in the barrier system suggests a risk of cross infection with the hospital environment.…”
