Abstract EN
Desulfovibrio spp.
are gram-negative, sulfate-reducing, and anaerobic bacteria found in the digestive tract of humans.
Because Desulfovibrio spp.
are infrequent causative agents of infectious diseases and are difficult to isolate and to identify from clinical specimens, the appropriate antibiotic therapy to infection with Desulfovibrio spp.
has not been determined.
We report the first case of liver abscess with bacteremia due to Desulfovibrio desulfuricans to show the clinical presentation and treatment.
The patient was successfully treated with intravenous piperacillin-tazobactam and oral amoxicillin-clavulanic acid.
