“…In this study, it was observed that genital infections in female adults were produced by a wide range of isolates, most frequently SVG (31.8%) corresponding to Anginosus and Constellatus species. These microorganisms are part of habitual oral, gastrointestinal, and urogenital microbiota and can potentially cause infectious symptoms with a tendency to abscess formation but rarely at genital level [13], although a possible association with intrauterine devices has been postulated. There have also been reports of its relationship with potentially fatal diseases such as Fournier's gangrene [14].…”

Microorganisms responsible for genitourinary infections increasingly include species other than conventional etiological agents that are of clinical and pathogenic relevance and therapeutic interest. This cross-sectional descriptive study selected samples from clinical genitourinary episodes between January 2016 and December 2019 in which emerging microbiological agents were detected. The patients’ epidemiological characteristics, clinical presentation, antibiotic treatment, and outcome were studied to identify their pathogenic role. The emerging microorganisms most frequently detected in urinary tract infections were Streptococcus bovis (58.5%) and Gardnerella spp. (23.6%) in females and S. bovis (32.3%), Aerococcus urinae (18.6%), and Corynebacterium spp. (16.9%) in males, while the most frequently detected in genital infections were S. viridans (36.4%) in females and C. glucuronolyticum (32.2%) and Gardnerella spp. (35.6%) in males. All cases in female children were produced by S. bovis. Symptomatic episodes were more frequent with Aerococcus spp. and S. bovis and the presence of leukocytosis more frequent with Aerococcus spp. Quinolones and doxycycline were most often prescribed antibiotics for genital infections and quinolones and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid for urinary infections. Urinary infection by Aerococcus spp. was more frequent in males of advanced age, Corynebacterium spp. was more frequent in permanent vesical catheter carriers, and episodes of asymptomatic bacteriuria by Gardnerella spp. were more frequent in patients with kidney transplant and chronic consumers of corticosteroid therapy. Lactobacillus spp. should be considered in urinary infections of patients of advanced age and with a previous antibiotic load. Genital infection by Gardnerella spp. was significantly associated with a history of risky sexual relations.

“…S. pneumoniae no forma parte de la microbiota vaginal habitual y su aislamiento en exudados vaginal/cervical se da en menos del 1% de las mujeres [ 5 ]. Sin embargo, S. pneumoniae puede acceder a la mucosa vaginal por contaminación de las manos o por práctica sexual orogenital o vía hematógena, como se ha descrito con otras especies [ 7 ]. Entre los factores de riesgo para colonización del tracto genital se encuentran el uso de dispositivos intrauterinos, periodo posparto o posaborto o cirugía ginecológica reciente [ 8 ].…”

Pterygopalatine fossa (PPF) abscess is an exceedingly rare occurrence. Typically, it has been reported in association with odontogenic infections or hematogenous dissemination. In this report, we present the first case of PPF abscess where no obvious underlying cause or primary infection was evident. The patient initially presented with a 2-week history of left ptosis and persistent headaches, which were subsequently accompanied by fever and limited mouth opening. Based on elevated inflammatory markers and imaging findings, the diagnosis of a PPF abscess was established. Successful treatment was achieved through surgical drainage using an external cervical approach. Cultures from the aspirated pus identified Streptococcus constellatus as the causative agent. This case highlights the importance of considering PPF abscess in patients presenting with ptosis as an initial symptom. When diagnosed, surgical drainage should be considered as a viable therapeutic option.
