Abstract

Rothia mucilaginosa is located in the microbiota of the oropharynx and upper respiratory tract. It is rarely seen in lower respiratory infections and in people with normal immune system and generally occurs in immunocompromised patients. A male patient, 75 years of age, followed with the diagnosis of chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) was admitted to the chest diseases service with the diagnosis of pneumonia and COPD. In the recurrent sputum culture taken from the patient whose symptoms did not regress under moxifloxacin treatment, round grayish convex colonies that did not hemolyze in blood agar were defined as R. mucilaginosa by using VITEK 2 (bioMerieux, France) automatized system and isolate matrix -mediated laser desorption ionization timeb- of -flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). In the antibiotic susceptibility test performed using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method, it was seen to be susceptible to linezolid, claritromycin, meropenem, cefoperazone + sulbactam, piperacillin + tazobactam, vancomycin, cefotaxim, erithromycin, clindamycin, ampicillin + sulbactam, amoxicillin + clavulanic acid, penicillin, cefoxitin and teicoplanin and to be resistant to cefazolin, moxifloxacin ve oxacillin. As the result of the culture, the patient was started a combination treatment of ampicillin + sulbactam and claritromycin and the patient, having clinically recovered, was discharged on the condition of going for a check-up.

Özet

Rothia mucilaginosa, orofarenks ve üst solunum yollarının mikrobiyotasında yer almaktadır. Alt solunum yolu infeksiyonlarında ve bağışıklık sistemi normal kişilerde nadiren görülmekte ve genellikle bağışıklık sistemi baskılanmış hastalarda ortaya çıkmaktadır. Kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığı (KOAH) tanısıyla takip edilen 75 yaşındaki erkek hasta, KOAH tanısıyla göğüs hastalıkları servisinde takibe alınmıştır. Moksifloksasin tedavisi altındayken semptomları gerilemeyen hastadan alınan tekrarlayan balgam kültüründe kanlı agarda hemoliz yapmayan, yuvarlak grimsi konveks koloniler VITEK 2 (bioMerieux, France) otomatize sistemi ve izolat matriks-aracılı lazer dezorbsiyon iyonizasyon uçuş zamanı kütle spektrometresi (MALDI-TOF MS) sistemi kullanılarak R. mucilaginosa olarak tanımlanmıştır. Kirby-Bauer disk difüzyon yöntemi kullanılarak yapılan antibiyotik duyarlılık testinde, linezolid, klaritromisin, meropenem, sefoperazon + sulbaktam, piperasilin + tazobaktam, vankomisin, sefotaksim, eritromisin, klindamisin, ampisilin + sulbaktam, amoksisilin + klavulanik asit, penisilin, sefoksitin ve teikoplanine duyarlı, sefazolin, moksifloksasin ve oksasiline dirençli olduğu görülmüştür. Kültür sonucu ile hastaya ampisilin + sulbaktam ve klaritromisin kombinasyon tedavisi başlanmış, klinik olarak düzelen hasta kontrole gelmek üzere taburcu edilmiştir. Bu yazıda bilinen immün sistem problemi olmayan KOAH'lı bir hastada R. mucilaginosa'nın neden olduğu bir pnömoni olgusu sunulmuştur.
