Hungatella spp. are anaerobic bacteria, are known members of the gut microbiome and very rarely cause human infection. Hungatella effluvii was isolated from an effluent treatment plant in 2014. We report a case of bacteremia due to H. effluvii that occurred after hematochezia in a patient with prostate cancer. It was misidentified by the VITEK 2 system (bioMérieux, France) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and was correctly identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

贫血患者血液培养中的Hungatella effluvii分离株。

饥饿菌属 是厌氧细菌，是肠道微生物组的已知成员，很少引起人类感染。2014年，从一家污水处理厂分离出了Hungatella effluvii。我们报告了一例前列腺癌患者发生便血后发生的由H. effluvii引起的菌血症。它被VITEK 2系统（法国bioMérieux）和基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱仪（MALDI-TOF MS）误判，并通过16S rRNA基因测序正确鉴定。
