Abstract
We report the first case of necrotizing fasciitis caused by Pigmentibacter ruber. The isolated strain could not be identified by biochemical characterization or matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry but was identified as P. ruber by 16S ribosomal RNA and whole-genome sequencing. Although much remains unknown about the pathogenicity of this bacterial species in humans, it has been shown to cause life-threatening infections such as septicemia and necrotizing fasciitis. Because the isolate was highly resistant to β-lactams, it was difficult to treat with antimicrobial therapy. Thus, further documentation of cases and analyses are required.
期刊介绍：
Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases (JJID), an official bimonthly publication of National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Japan, publishes papers dealing with basic research on infectious diseases relevant to humans in the fields of bacteriology, virology, mycology, parasitology, medical entomology, vaccinology, and toxinology. Pathology, immunology, biochemistry, and blood safety related to microbial pathogens are among the fields covered. Sections include: original papers, short communications, epidemiological reports, methods, laboratory and epidemiology communications, letters to the editor, and reviews.
