Abstract:
Bacteroides uniformis(B.uniformis)is an obligate anaerobic Gram-negative bacteria,it belongs to Bacieroides spp..It is an important component of the normal gut microbiota in human body and rarely causes op-portunistic infection in clinical practice.Currently,there is no consensus on the clinical characteristics,diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis of infection caused by B.uniformis,and the resistance of anaerobic bacteria is difficult to be detected.This article reports a case of a lung tumor patient who developed diarrhea and bloodstream infection due to B.uniformis after chemotherapy.After empirical anti-infective treatment with cefoperazone/sulbactam,the pa-tient recovered and was discharged from hospital.This paper aims to improve clinical understanding on infection caused by opportunistic pathogens in the gut,and provide reference for timely diagnosis and effective treatment.
