초록
Corynebacterium minutissimum is a non-spore forming, gram-positive, aerobic or facultative anaerobic bacillus. It is the causativeorganism of erythrasma, a common superficial infection of skin, which typically presents as reddish-brown macular patches. To date, it has rarely been found to cause invasive disease, although other non-diphtheria corynebacteria are becoming increasinglycommon as opportunistic pathogens. We report on a rare case of abdominal infection due to C. minutissimum in animmunocompetent adult who was successfully treated with intravenous amoxicillin/sulbactam.
Abstract
Corynebacterium minutissimum is a non-spore forming, gram-positive, aerobic or facultative anaerobic bacillus. It is the causativeorganism of erythrasma, a common superficial infection of skin, which typically presents as reddish-brown macular patches. To date, it has rarely been found to cause invasive disease, although other non-diphtheria corynebacteria are becoming increasinglycommon as opportunistic pathogens. We report on a rare case of abdominal infection due to C. minutissimum in animmunocompetent adult who was successfully treated with intravenous amoxicillin/sulbactam.
