Peptostreptococcus anaerobius is a gram-positive anaerobic coccus (GPAC) found in the
gastrointestinal and vaginal microbiota. The organism is mainly found in polymicrobial and …

Objectives Gram-positive, anaerobic cocci (GPAC) can cause infections in humans. Only a
few cases of bacteraemia with GPAC have been reported. We describe the clinical and …

Anaerobic bacteremia (AB) is usually detected in about 0.5–13% of positive blood cultures.
The aim of this study was to determine prevalence of anaerobic bacteremia over a 5-year …

Abstract Background Blood culture bottles (BCBs) provide a semiautomated method for
culturing periprosthetic tissue specimens. A study evaluating BCBs for culturing clinical …

In this study, we evaluated the performance of three blood culture systems in a Chinese
tertiary-care hospital. Samples of simulated bacteremia were prepared using 10 mL of fresh …

Cutibacterium acnes is a major etiologic agent of orthopaedic implant-associated infections
(IAIs) and requires up to 14 days of incubation in an anaerobic atmosphere for growth …

Bacteremia implicating anaerobic bacteria (BIAB) represents 2–6% of all episodes of
bacteremia and is associated with high mortality. In this retrospective study from June 2015 …

Rapid detection and identification of anaerobic bacteria from blood is important to adjust
antimicrobial therapy by including antibiotics with activity against anaerobic bacteria. Limited …

Abstract Background Infection by Dialister micraerophilus, an obligate anaerobic gram-
negative bacillus, has rarely been described, and its clinical characteristics remain unclear …

Background In microbiological diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) there is much
