  • Title: First report of spontaneous intrapartum Atopobium vaginae bacteremia.
    Author: Chan JF, Lau SK, Curreem SO, To KK, Leung SS, Cheng VC, Yuen KY, Woo PC.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2012 Jul; 50(7):2525-8. PubMed ID: 22573590.
    Abstract:
    We report the first case of spontaneous intrapartum Atopobium vaginae bacteremia identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The bacterium was misidentified by RapID ANA II, API Rapid ID 32A, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The likely source of bacteremia was the female genital tract. In invasive infections caused by A. vaginae, β-lactams and clindamycin are the antibiotics of choice, as most strains are resistant to metronidazole.
