Abstract
This study was carried out in order to determine the frequency of Propionibacterium spp. as causative agents of infection. Totally 996 of Propionibacterium spp were recovered from 6950 specimens studied for the identification of anaerobic bacteria. Of these 832 were Propionibacterium acnes. Seventy-eight of P. acnes isolates and six of P.granulosum isolates were considered to cause infections. Clinically significant infections caused by Propionibacterium spp were associated with central nervous system infection in two; bacteremia in two; pyogenic hepatic abscess in three; lung abscess in one; peritonitis in eight; obstetric and gynologic infections in 32; otitis media in one; cysts in 11; breast abscess in five; surgical wound infections in 15 and acnes in four.
Özet
İnfeksiyon etkenleri arasında Propionibacterium 'un yerini saptamak amacıyla bu çalışma yapıldı. Anaerop bakteriler yönünden incelenen 6950 klinik örnekten toplam 996 Propionibacterium cinsi bakteri üretildi. Bunların 832'si Propionibacterium acnes idi. Yetmiş-sekiz P. acnes kökeni ve altı P. granulosum kökeni infeksiyon etkeni olarak kabul edildi. Klinik olarak anlamlı infeksiyon etkeni olarak kabul edilen Propionibacterium'lar iki hastada santral sinir sistemi infeksiyonu, ikisinde bakteriyemi, üçünde karaciğer apsesi, birinde akciğer apsesi, sekizinde peritonit, 32'sinde obstetrik ve jinekolojik infeksiyonlar, birinde orta kulak iltihabı, 11'inde kist, beşinde meme apsesi, 15'inde cerrahi yara infeksiyonları ve dördünde aknede bulunmakta idi.
