Abstract
Parvimonas micra is a gram-positive coccus which is an obligate anaerobe. It is a commensal in the oropharyngeal cavity and the gastrointestinal tract. The genus Parvimonas has only a single species, P. micra. Although there are several reports of infections due to P. micra involving various body sites, cases of brain abscess due to this organism have been under-reported in the literature. Here we present a rare case of cerebellar abscess caused by P. micra in a nine-year-old boy with complex cyanotic heart disease.
期刊介绍：
Anaerobe is essential reading for those who wish to remain at the forefront of discoveries relating to life processes of strictly anaerobes. The journal is multi-disciplinary, and provides a unique forum for those investigating anaerobic organisms that cause infections in humans and animals, as well as anaerobes that play roles in microbiomes or environmental processes.
Anaerobe publishes reviews, mini reviews, original research articles, notes and case reports. Relevant topics fall into the broad categories of anaerobes in human and animal diseases, anaerobes in the microbiome, anaerobes in the environment, diagnosis of anaerobes in clinical microbiology laboratories, molecular biology, genetics, pathogenesis, toxins and antibiotic susceptibility of anaerobic bacteria.
