Abstract

Enterococcus gallinarum (E. gallinarum), an opportunistic pathogen with intrinsic resistance to vancomycin, has rarely been reported as a predominant pathogen responsible for biliary tract infections. Here, we report a case of biliary tract infections caused by E. gallinarum and Escherichia coli (E. coli) in a 57-year-old Chinese woman with symptoms of upper abdomen pain for 10 days. The patient initially received empiric treatment with cefmetazole but failed to improve. Subsequently, bile cultures identified E. gallinarum and E. coli, and cefmetazole was switched to linezolid and meropenem based on drug susceptibility testing. After 10 days of antibiotic therapy, the patient successfully recovered and was discharged from the hospital. The findings of this case remind us that E. gallinarum may be the causative factor of biliary tract infections, and timely identification of the causative organism and appropriate antibiotic treatment is important for optimal patient recovery.

由胆囊肠球菌和大肠埃希菌引起的胆道感染:罕见病例报告。
胆肠球菌(E. gallinarum)是一种对万古霉素具有内在耐药性的机会性病原体,很少有报道称它是导致胆道感染的主要病原体。在此,我们报告了一例胆道感染病例,患者为一名 57 岁的中国女性,上腹部疼痛症状持续 10 天,由胆杆菌和大肠杆菌(E. coli)引起。患者最初接受了头孢美唑的经验性治疗,但病情未见好转。随后,胆汁培养发现了加里纳氏菌和大肠埃希氏菌,根据药物敏感性检测结果,头孢美唑改为利奈唑胺和美罗培南。经过 10 天的抗生素治疗,患者顺利康复出院。本病例的研究结果提醒我们,胆囊炎杆菌可能是胆道感染的致病因素,及时确定致病菌并进行适当的抗生素治疗对于患者的最佳康复非常重要。
