Abstract

Background: Bacterial hepatic abscess is a common occurrence in developing countries, which is mostly caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli. Pannonibacter phragmitetus is a Gram-negative alkali-tolerant bacillus that exists in the natural environment. Human infection by this bacterium is rare, with only four cases reported. Method: We presented one of these cases with a bacterial liver abscess by a polymicrobial infection involving P. phragmitetus and Streptococcus oralis, with P. phragmitetus being the predominate isolate. Result and discussion: Our strain of P. phragmitetus was resistant to more antibiotics than the other reported two strains. This case further verified the infectivity of P. phragmitetus.
