Identification of Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer. A bacteremia in an immunocompetent patient

A case report of multiple abscess co-infected with Eggerthella lenta and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans identificated with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer

“…More specifically, it has been associated with infections such as liver abscesses [ 4 ], pyomyositis [ 5 ] or bacteremia [ 6 ] in the context of multiple abscesses [ 7 ], among others. D. desulfurin-cans has rarely been described in human infections, however, it has been isolated causing bacteremia [ 8 , 9 ], liver abscesses [ 10 ] or septic arthritis [ 11 ]. The risk factors found that predis-pose to infections by these microorganisms are those related to immunosuppression (malignancy or diabetes), gastrointestinal disease, as well as a history of trauma or previous surgery [ 5 , 8 , 11 ].…”
