First Case of Acute Pleural Empyema Caused by Mediterraneibacter gnavus
We report the first case of acute pleural empyema caused by Mediterraneibacter gnavus, a gut commensal organism, identified by anaerobic culture in combination with MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. This case suggests that M. gnavus can act as an opportunistic pathogen in patients with significant comorbidities and highlights ...
