Eggerthella lenta is an anaerobic, nonspore forming, catalase positive, Gram-positive bacillus that is a cause of bacteremia associated with gastrointestinal tract abnormalities. From:Self-Assessment Q&A in Clinical Laboratory Science, III,2021
Eggerthella lentaCoriobacteriaceaeEgg.er.thel'la. N.L. fem. n. named to honor Arnold H. Eggerth (1889?1962), who first described the organism later named Eubacterium lentum. Actinobacteria / Coriobacteriia / Coriobacteriales / Coriobacteriaceae / Eggerthella Gram-stain-positive obligately ...
lentum and proposed that it be grouped with Eggerthella lenta, the type species of genus Eggerthella. E. lentum is a gram-positive, irregular, nonsporulating, strictly anaerobic bacillus (Figure 4.2(A) and (B)). As a strict anaerobe, most strains can grow between 30 °C and 45 °C, ...
Eggerthella lenta (Eggerth 1935) Wade et al. 1999, emended Würdemann et al. 2009 is the type species of the genus Eggerthella, which belongs to the actinobacterial family Coriobacteriaceae. E. lenta is a Gram-positive, non-motile, non-sporulating pathogenic bacterium that can cause severe...
We report a case of liver abscesses caused by Eggerthella lenta, identified via 16S rRNA sequencing in a previously healthy patient, successfully treated with percutaneous drainage and ertapenem. 1. Introduction Anaerobic gram-positive bacilli from the normal human gut flora can occasionally be ...
(Fig.6D). TheEggerthellaspecies was identified asEggerthella lenta, which was present in all metagenome sequenced samples (Supplemental Fig. 5). The antimicrobial resistance pipeline identified aminoglycoside, tetracycline, macrolide, streptogramin, lincosamide, and fluoroquinolone resistance reads associated...
Gram stain revealed short Gram-positive bacillus without spores. The positive culture broth was inoculated onto blood agar base medium and anaerobically incubated for three more days. A colony from the agar plate was identified as E. lenta by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ion...

Eggerthella lenta is a anaerobic gram-positive bacilli associated with polymicrobial intraabdominal infections. Recently, E. lenta was recognized as an important cause of anaerobic bloodstream infections (BSIs) associated with high mortality. Eggerthella lenta has been reported to have high minimal ...
fragilis, and failed to identify the gram-positive R. gnavus. We suspect that R. gnavus was present on the smear but mis-categorized as gram-negative due to over-decolorization. In the second set of blood cultures which grew E. lenta and B. fragilis, only gram-positive rods were reported...
