As well known, the species of Bordetella, such as Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis are prevalent respiratory tract pathogens. Bordetella hinzii, another species of Bordetella genus, Bordetella hinzii could cause meningitis, bacteremia, lung disease, endocarditis, chronic cholangitis and soft tissue abscess. In this study, we reported a new case of Bordetella hinzii infection in Asia with the clinical presentation and laboratory diagnosis. This study systematically analyzed the etiological characteristics of the pathogen using Vitek 2, MALDI-TOF MS, drug susceptibility testing, and whole-genome sequencing, aiming to provide a valuable reference for the diagnosis and treatment of Bordetella hinzii infection.

Bacterial Pneumonia Treatment
For bacterial pneumonia, antibiotics serve as the cornerstone of therapy. Initial treatment often begins with empirical antibiotics, tailored to the anticipated causative organism and adjusted based on culture results. Key antibiotic choices include:
Pneumonia III: Complications and Assessment
Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed....
