Dog bites remain a common occurrence in our society, particularly in toddlers and small children under the age of 2. Injuries to the head and face, more common in younger children, can often lead to significant morbidity. Additionally, there continues to be considerable clinical equipoise for standardized post-dog bite injury management. Here, we present the only reported pediatric case in the literature of Mycoplasma canis-associated central nervous system (CNS) infection in an 11-month-old infant who sustained a dog bite to the calvarium. The prevalence of dog bites during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic had interestingly tripled in number after stay-at-home orders in 1 particular pediatric emergency department in Colorado. This observation paired with advances in microbiological identification like MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer) may lead to the identification of future cases of uniquely canine pathogens that play a role in human infection.

Within Mycoplasma genus, M. pneumoniae, M. genitalium, M. hominis or U. urealyticum are the main species that have been traditionally linked to infectious processes. However, there are many other species involved in these conditions and that are, frequently, unfamiliar to healthcare professionals. The aim of this review is to identify all Mycoplasma genus species that have been isolated in human beings and to determine their involvement in infectious pathology.

Introduction: Ten years after its introduction into clinical microbiology, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry has become the standard routine identification tool for bacteria in most laboratories. The technology has accelerated analyses and improved the quality of results. The greatest significance has been observed for bacteria that were challenging to be identified by traditional methods. Areas covered: We searched in existing literature (Pubmed) for reports how MALDI-TOF MS has contributed to identification of rare and unknown bacteria from different groups. We describe how this has improved the diagnostics in different groups of bacteria. Reference patterns for strains which yet cannot be assigned to a known species even enable the search for related bacteria in studies as well as in routine diagnostics. MALDI-TOF MS can help to discover and investigate new species and their clinical relevance. It is a powerful tool in the elucidation of the bacterial composition of complex microbiota in culturomics studies. Expert opinion: MALDI-TOF MS has improved the diagnosis of bacterial infections. It also enables knowledge generation for prospective diagnostics. The term 'hard-to-identify' might only be rarely attributed to bacteria in the future. Novel applications are being developed, e.g. subspecies differentiation, typing, and antibiotic resistance testing which may further contribute to improved microbial diagnostics.

First isolation of Mycoplasma canis from human tissue samples after a dog bite

Abstract: Mycoplasma canis is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen that may colonize dogs and cattle. In the present case, we report for the first time the isolation of M. canis from a wound tissue specimen of a 62-year-old woman after a dog bite.
