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 ...
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
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...
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 ...
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, ...
After 32.4 hours of incubation in the BacT/ALERT Virtuo automated system, the anaerobic bottle from one of the sets was flagged as positive and a Gram stain showed gram-positive rods. After subculturing as outlined above, E. lenta and B. fragilis were identified with the MALDI Biotyper ...
Eggerthella lenta is an anaerobic, nonspore forming, catalase positive, Gram-positive bacillus that is a cause of bacteremia associated with gastrointestinal tract abnormalities. Similar to C. tertium, Lactobacillus rhamnosus is an aerotolerant Gram-positive bacillus that is catalase negative but is ...
