Bacillus cereus is a ubiquitous spore-forming organism that is infrequently implicated in extraintestinal infections. The authors report three cases of B cereus bacteremia among injection drug users presenting within one month to an urban tertiary care hospital. Treatment with intravenous vancomycin was successful in all three cases. While temporal association suggested an outbreak, molecular studies of patient isolates using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis did not suggest a common source. A review of the association of B cereus infections with heroin use and treatment of this pathogen is provided.

注射吸毒者中一群蜡状芽孢杆菌菌血症病例。

蜡状芽孢杆菌是一种普遍存在的形成孢子的生物,很少涉及肠外感染。作者报告了三个月内在市区三级医院就诊的注射吸毒者中的蜡样芽孢杆菌菌血症病例。在所有三例中,静脉内万古霉素治疗均成功。虽然时间关联性提示发生了暴发,但使用脉冲场凝胶电泳对患者分离株进行分子研究并未显示出共同的来源。蜡状芽胞杆菌感染与海洛因的使用和该病原体的治疗之间的关联提供了审查。
