Abstract: Objective

To report a bloodstream infection case of a female patient after genital tract abscess operation by Prevotella oralis.

Methods

Blood samples were collected by aseptic method, and were detected by VersaTREK240-10 automatic microbial detection system. The positive culture blood samples were smeared, inoculated of plates for pure isolates of pathogenic bacteria, identified by VITEK 2 Compact, and confirmed by 16S rRNA sequencing.

Results

Two bottles of left side and right side of anaerobic blood culture were positive after 48 and 72 h, respectively. The results of VITEK 2 Compact and 16S rRNA sequencing results were both Prevotella oralis, and the identification rates were 96% and 99%, respectively.

Conclusions

A isolate of Prevotella oralis is identified from a female patient with bloodstream infection in East Hospital.
