“…Ciprofloxacin showed excellent activity against G. bronchialis (all tested isolates in this systematic review), good oral bioavailability, and together with vancomycin, it is the most commonly used antibiotic in the treatment of infections caused by G. bronchialis . Moreover, the drug achieves an optimal concentration in bones and soft tissues even after oral administration, which is an effective treatment in the treatment of osteomyelitis and soft tissue infections ( 22 , 43 ). It has been used rarely as monotherapy, most often in combination with another anti-infective drug such as amoxicillin/clavulanate, ceftriaxone, imipenem, teicoplanin, minocycline, rifampin, and only in one case as triple antibiotic therapy with teicoplanin and rifampin, for treating various infections related to G. bronchialis as the main pathogen ( 2 , 12 , 18 , 21 , 25 ).…”

BackgroundCorynebacterium, Nocardia, Rhodococcus, Mycobacterium, as well as Gordonia genera belongs to the genus Gordonia, Actinomycetia class. Gordonia bronchialis is a nitrate-reducing, urease-producing, non-motile, force aerobe with a rod-like figure that is known to arrangement into sessile, cord-like groups. This systematic review aimed to establish whether and what invasive infections in humans were caused by Gordonia bronchialis, and to evaluate outcomes of administered antibiotic treatment.MethodsWe have registered this systematic review in PROSPERO database of systematic reviews and meta-analyses with the number CRD42022369974.ResultsA total of 24 publications were included (22 case reports and two case series) with 28 individual cases. The oldest patients had 92 years, and the youngest patients had 13 years. Clinical signs of infection were present in six patients (21%). All isolates were susceptible to ciprofloxacin, imipenem, and amikacin. Vancomycin was the most frequently used antibiotic with nine cases followed by ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone, and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid.ConclusionAlthough there are no standardized recommendations to date, successful treatment with a favorable outcome has most often been carried out with fluoroquinolones, vancomycin with or without aminoglycosides, as well as carbapenems.

Endobronchial lipoma (EL) is a rare benign lung tumor, and its incidence rate only accounts for a tiny proportion of all lung tumors. EL has non-specific clinical symptoms and signs, and chest computed tomography is helpful in diagnosis. When fat density nodules are found in the bronchial lumen with no enhancement, EL should be considered. Once this disease is diagnosed, bronchoscopic intervention therapy is the first choice for treatment, and patients generally have a good prognosis. The present report describes the diagnosis and treatment processes of a patient with EL. The patient sought medical attention due to recurrent fever, cough and white sputum for >1 month. The chest CT revealed a hypodensity nodule at the bronchial opening of the basal segment of the lower lobe of the left lung, with the margins showing foci of punctate calcification. The patient underwent a bronchoscopy and the pathological diagnosis was EL. In the present study, a literature review analysis is also included to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
