Abstract

In recent years, genus brevibacterium is described as a pathogen in human infections. It is reported that this bacterium has been isolated from blood, cere¬brospinal fluid and the other sterile body fluids. Brevibacterium casei is a rare cause of infection and has been isolated from blood cultures in a patient with cellulitis. Intravenous ampicillin plus sulbactam therapy (4 gr/day) was given for five days to the patient and the therapy was changed as continuous therapy with amoxicillin plus clavulanate (3 gr/day) for six days after the discharge. Total cure was observed at the end of this therapy period.

Özet

Son yıllarda Brevibacterium genusu insanlarda enfeksiyonlara yol açan bir patojen olarak tanımlan¬maktadır. Kandan, serebrospinal sıvıdan ve diğer steril vücut sıvılarından izole edildiği bildirilmiştir. Nadir bir enfeksiyon etkeni olan Brevibacterium casei, sellülitli bir olgunun kan kültüründen saf olarak izole edilmiştir. Olguya beş gün süreyle intravenöz ampisilin-sulbaktam (4g/gün) ve taburcu olduktan sonra ardışık tedavi ile 6 gün peroral amoksisilin-klavulanat (3g/gün) tedavisi verilmiştir. Bu süre sonunda olgu tamamen iyileşmiştir.
