Abstract:
Granulicatella adiacens inhabits the oral cavity, urogenital, and gastrointestinal tracts and is a typical commensal of human mucosal surfaces. It rarely causes disease. Identification of these gram-positive cocci can be challenging. In a 58-year-old male in an oncology center, we report the first occurrence of bacterial infection caused by G. adiacens. After a precise diagnosis of the infection, the patient received effective treatment. Owing to a lack of sufficient diagnostic tools, G. adiacens may be a more notable pathogen than has been previously identified. Sensitivity testing standards are desperately needed.
