    Author: Lin JC, Hou SJ, Huang LU, Sun JR, Chang WK, Lu JJ.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2006 Jun; 44(6):2298-9. PubMed ID: 16757645.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of acute cholecystitis accompanied by acute pancreatitis and caused by Dolosigranulum pigrum in a 76-year-old male with gallstones. D. pigrum was isolated from a blood culture and confirmed by biochemistry tests and 16S rRNA sequencing. The isolate was susceptible to the beta-lactams ampicillin, penicillin, cephalothin, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, chloramphenicol, and vancomycin but was intermediate to erythromycin and clindamycin. The patient recovered without sequelae after treatment with appropriate antibiotics for two weeks.
