Sacroiliitis and Septicemia Caused by Campylobacter rectus and Actinomyces odontolyticus

Abstract

is an anaerobic Gram-negative bacillus, generally recognized as an agent responsible for severe periodontitis: only two cases of extra-oral infections have been reported. The first case of septicemia with C rectus and Actinomyces odon tolyticus is described in a 3 7-year-old farmer who suffered from severe sacroiliitis. Also presented are a review of C rectus in human pathology. and a brief review of pyogenic sacroiliitis, a rather rare disease . Nous presenton s egalement une revue de Ia pathogenicite h u maine de C rectus et une breve revue de Ia sacro-ileite infectieuse, une maladie plut6t rare de nos jours.

Mixed anaerobic thoracic empyema: the first report of Filifactor alocis causing extra-oral disease

“…It is known to be motile, oxidase-positive, urease-negative and catalase-variable. Though known as an established pathogen in periodontal disease, it has rarely been isolated in extra-oral invasive disease; to date 15 cases of extra-oral invasive disease have been described, four of which have been thoracic empyemas [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12]. In most cases, extra-oral Camplobacter rectus infections have been polymicrobial, and the associated pathogens included Actinomyces spp., Streptococcus intermedius , Eubacterium spp ., Porphyromonas spp.…”

Actinomyces spp. Prosthetic Vascular Graft Infection (PVGI): A Multicenter Case-Series and Narrative Review of the Literature

“…A. odontolyticus is a resident bacterium of the oral cavity (being the main responsible for tooth biofilm formation), pharynx, distal esophagus, and distal urinary tract [1,36]. This pathogen has been reported to cause orocervicofacial [37][38][39], laryngeal [40,41], thoracic [42,43], renal [44,45], and pelvic actinomycosis [46,47], infection of the penile shaft [4], peritonitis [48], cholecystitis [49], liver abscesses [50,51], chronic conjunctivitis [52], spinal and brain abscesses (including meningitis) [53][54][55], foot, finger, arm abscesses [56][57][58], and other soft tissues involvement, such as cutaneous abscesses [59,60], osteomyelitis [61,62], purulent pericarditis [63,64], endocarditis [65], and BSI [66][67][68][69]. Looking at implant-associated infections with the contribution of A. odontolyticus, besides PVGI caused by A. odontolyticus [10,14,16,17], reports exist on endocarditis related to implantable cardioverter defibrillator [70], IUCD-associated pelvic actinomycosis [71,…”
