Abstract

We present a rare case of Eggerthia catenaformis causing an intratumoral lung abscess in metastatic adenocarcinoma. Despite catheter drainage and broad-spectrum antibiotics, the infection persisted, prompting salvage intracavitary antibiotic instillation with poor response. This case highlights the diagnostic advances, therapeutic attempts, and importance of oral evaluation in anaerobic pulmonary infections.

期刊介绍： Anaerobe is essential reading for those who wish to remain at the forefront of discoveries relating to life processes of strictly anaerobes. The journal is multi-disciplinary, and provides a unique forum for those investigating anaerobic organisms that cause infections in humans and animals, as well as anaerobes that play roles in microbiomes or environmental processes. Anaerobe publishes reviews, mini reviews, original research articles, notes and case reports. Relevant topics fall into the broad categories of anaerobes in human and animal diseases, anaerobes in the microbiome, anaerobes in the environment, diagnosis of anaerobes in clinical microbiology laboratories, molecular biology, genetics, pathogenesis, toxins and antibiotic susceptibility of anaerobic bacteria.
