    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Eikenella corrodens (E. corrodens) is an anaerobic, facultative, Gram-negative rod found in the oral cavity and upper respiratory tract.
    • This bacterium is known for its slow growth and low virulence, often being overlooked in clinical practice.

    Observation:

    • This report details four new cases of verified infections caused by E. corrodens.
    • A comprehensive literature review of E. corrodens cases from 1975 to 1984 was conducted.

    Findings:

    • The study discusses the pathogenicity of E. corrodens and identifies predisposing factors for infection, such as underlying diseases.
    • Human bites and oral cavity infections are frequently associated with E. corrodens.
    • Successful antibiotic therapy is achievable with benzylpenicillin or ampicillin, which are identified as drugs of choice.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the predisposing factors and common associations of E. corrodens is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment.
    • The findings highlight the importance of considering E. corrodens in specific clinical scenarios, particularly those involving oral trauma or immunosuppression.
    • Benzylpenicillin and ampicillin remain effective therapeutic options for E. corrodens infections.
