Two cases of Prevotella oris causing serious pleuropulmonary infections.

Abstract

Rev Esp Quimioter 2023;36(4): 439-441 439 Prevotella oris was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing of bronchial brushing and bronchoalveolar lavage samples with an homology percentage of 99.50% and 99.82%, respectively. The second sequence was registered in GenBank with accession number OP601405. After switching to IV 1 g/8 h cefotaxime and 260 mg/6 h vancomycin, the patient improved until resolution of the infection 18 days after admission (Figure 1C).
