“…The invasive form associated with localized infection due to this pathogen is extremely rare. Previous reports of invasive infection in humans have described the following sterile sites: endocardium, bone, joint, and cerebrospinal fluid [5][6][7]. To the best of our knowledge, only one case of an intra-abdominal abscess due to E. rhusiopathiae has been reported [9].…”

“…Three well-defined clinical categories of human disease have been described: erysipeloid, generalized cutaneous form, and bacteremia, which is often associated with endocarditis [4]. In addition, new disease manifestations, such as septic arthritis, meningitis, pneumonia, and intra-abdominal abscess, have been reported [5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…However, E. rhusiopathiae bacteremia is rare and present with severe clinical symptoms, such as endocarditis [3,8], acute meningitis [22], arthritis [23,24], psoas abscess [25], and thoracic spondylitis [26]. According to a previous review [1], many underlying diseases, including heart disease and alcohol abuse, made the patients susceptible to E. rhusiopathiae infection and led to the occurrence of bacteremia.…”

“…El género Erysipelothrix incluye 2 especies: E. rhusiopathiae la cual incluye los serotipos 1ª, 1b, 2,4,5,6,8,9,11,12,15,16,17,19,21 y N, E. tonsillarum 2,3 contiene los serotipos 3, 7, 10, 14, 20, 22 y 23 también se reconocen 2 grupos de Erysipelothrix no clasificados representando los serotipos 13 y 18 4 . E. rhusiopathiae (del griego erysipela: erisipela, thrix: cabello, rhusius: rojizo, y pathus: enfermedad) es un germen gram positivo fácilmente decolorado (por lo que se puede confundir con un gram negativo 5 ), no esporulado, aerobio y anaerobio facultativo, de colonias circulares y muy pequeñas, no fermenta la sacarosa a diferencia del E. tonsillarum, inicialmente relacionado con el género Listeria pero posteriormente clasificado en un género diferente 3 , de amplia distribución en la naturaleza y reconocido principalmente como un patógeno veterinario 2. La morfología de la colonia, la tinción de gram, el resultado catalasa negativo puede sugerir Lactobacilus, Actinomyces, Enterococcus o Streptococcus, los cuales con más comunes aislar en laboratorio y que no siempre son completamente identificados, por tanto se debe interpretar cuidadosamente en el laboratorio dada su baja incidencia y las dificultades para su identificación 2,3,6 .…”
