Brevibacterium Luteolum bacteremia: A case report and literature review

“…The most helpful technique is Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF), which was used in our case. A different method is API Coryne System (bioMérieux, USA), but it has inaccurate results [3] .…”

“…Moreover, Hossain et al reported a case presented with bacteremia, and with further investigation, a liver abscess was discovered [15] . Furthermore, Eidensohn et al report a patient with osteomyelitis [3] .…”

“…However, 9 of those species are isolated from human samples, which are B. linens, B. casei, B. epidermidis, B. iodinum, B. mcbrellneri, B. otitis, B. paucivorans, B. sanguinis, and B. massiliense [2] . The most common organism is B. casei , reported in 9 out of 20 cases since the first case was discovered in 1991 [3] . In this case report, B. luteolum has been highlighted in an immunocompromised patient.…”

Successful Treatment of Brevibacterium Bacteremia Solely With Antimicrobial Therapy

“…Since this discovery, it has infrequently been found as a pathogen with a total of 18 cases reported implicating Brevibacterium, the most common infection being bacteremia (10 of these cases). The most common species that is isolated is B. casei [5]. There have also been cases of peritonitis, pericarditis, endocarditis, brain abscess, and osteomyelitis [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

Unveiling Brevibacterium Species Isolated in the Cerebrospinal Fluid: A Report of a Rare Case

“…The most common isolated species is Brevibacterium casei [2]. There are cases of osteomyelitis, endocarditis, brain abscess, and peritonitis [3][4][5][6]. However, their involvement in CSF infections is extremely rare, and no specific guidelines exist for their management in such cases.…”
