Eggerthella lenta bacteremia successfully treated with ceftizoxime: case report and review of the literature

Abstract: Eggerthella lenta is a normal human microflora that is anaerobic, non-sporulating, and Gram positive. However, an increasing number of studies have shown that it could also be an important pathogen for humans, even causing life-threatening infection under certain conditions. However, understanding its pathogenic mechanism and treatment options still need to be improved; more clinical data are needed to explore it further. In this article, we report a case of ceftizoxime-cured E. lenta bacteremia and review the… Show more

“…в большем количестве выделена у детей от матерей с ГСД ДТ, чем в КГ (р=0,029). Известно, что Eggerthella (тип Actinobacteria) связана с липидным обменом человека, является нормальным представителем пристеночной микробиоты, но у людей с ослабленным иммунитетом способна вызывать бактериемии и участвовать в смешанных инфекциях, что может приводить к хроническому воспалению слизистой кишечника и нарушениям со стороны метаболической системы организма [12,13]. Coprococcus catus в большем количестве выделена у детей от матерей с ГСД ИТ, чем в КГ (р=0,045).…”
