Case Report: Bloodstream infection due to Clostridium innocuum combined with Eggerthella lenta

Key Points

Bloodstream infections from clostridium innocuum and eggerthella lenta were identified, requiring urgent attention.
MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry reliably identifies these anaerobic bacteria in clinical samples.
After colorectal surgery, these pathogens should be treated quickly to ensure patient safety.
Highlights the importance of early detection and appropriate management of rare infectious agents.

Abstract

Clostridium innocuum and E. lenta can cause bloodstream infection after colorectal surgery, and the above two rare anaerobic bacteria can be rapidly and economically identified by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. C. innocuum, and E. lenta isolated from bloodstream infections following colorectal surgery should be considered as pathogens and treated promptly and appropriately.
