“…Bloodstream infection is one of the most frequently reported infections due to S. moorei, with 14 cases described so far [10,18,19,22,23]. In our series, S. moorei was identified during bacteremia in 11 of the 27 reported cases.…”

“…and the most commonly incriminated portals of entry were oral (poor oral condition, dentoalveolar abscess, etc.) or digestive, despite remaining unknown in some cases as not related to any oral or digestive comorbidity [10,22,23]. In our study, an extensive chart review could only be performed for eight patients.…”

“…Intra-abdominal infections may represent a possible source of bacteremia, as may be the case for Lee et al's case of S. moorei bacteremia associated with acute cholangitis [23]. However, it is noteworthy that, until today, no case of intra-abdominal infection in which S. moorei has been isolated from intra-abdominal samples has been published.…”

“…Indeed, an oral source was suspected based on multiple dentoalveolar abscesses presented by the first patient, whereas, for the second patient, the authors incriminated translocation through the inflamed intestinal mucosa based on the patient's clinical signs and the initial description of S. moorei in human feces. Since then, bacteremia has been reported in 12 additional patients, 10 of whom were recently reviewed [10,22,23]. Common characteristics were that patients had underlying diseases or risk factors (colon cancer, abdominal surgery, diabetes mellitus, etc.)…”

Solobacterium moorei is an anaerobic Gram-positive bacillus present within the oral and the intestinal microbiota that has rarely been described in human infections. Besides its role in halitosis and oral infections, S. moorei is considered to be an opportunistic pathogen causing mainly bloodstream and surgical wound infections. We performed a retrospective study of 27 cases of infections involving S. moorei in two French university hospitals between 2006 and 2021 with the aim of increasing our knowledge of this unrecognized opportunistic pathogen. We also reviewed all the data available in the literature and in genetic and metagenomic sequence databases. In addition to previously reported infections, S. moorei had been isolated from various sites and involved in intra-abdominal, osteoarticular, and cerebral infections more rarely or not previously reported. Although mostly involved in polymicrobial infections, in seven cases, it was the only pathogen recovered. Not included in all mass spectrometry databases, its identification can require 16S rRNA gene sequencing. High susceptibility to antibiotics (apart from rifampicin, moxifloxacin, and clindamycin; 91.3%, 11.8%, and 4.3% of resistant strains, respectively) has been noted. Our global search strategy revealed S. moorei to be human-associated, widely distributed in the human microbiota, including the vaginal and skin microbiota, which may be other sources for infection in addition to the oral and gut microbiota.

Anaerobic, Gram‐positive, non‐spore‐forming bacilli are widely distributed among the phyla Actinomycetota and Bacillota . The traditional genera Actinomyces , Actinobaculum , Actinotignum , Mobiluncus ,and Varibaculum all belong to the family Actinomycetaceae . The large degree of taxonomic heterogeneity among members of the genus Actinomyces has been recognized for some time. Many Eubacterium species are closely related to clostridia. Actinotignum schaalii is the species most frequently implicated in human disease among the genera Actinotignum and Actinobaculum . The Gram‐variable, curved Gram‐positive rods of the genus Mobiluncus can be detected in samples from the female vaginal tract. The cutaneous group of propionibacteria, now reclassified as Cutibacterium species, are members of the skin microbiota.
