Secondary Pneumonia due to Rothia mucilaginosa in H1N1 patient
Journal Title: Journal of International Medicine and Dentistry - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Rothia mucilaginosa was previously called as Micrococcus mucilaginosa and Stomatococcus mucilaginosa. Genus Rothia belongs to the Micrococcaceae family with four known species: Rothia dentocariosa, mucilaginosa, nasimurium and amarae. It is a normal oropharyngeal flora. Since its first case described in 1978, it has been reported to cause bacteremia, endocarditis, central nervous system infections, urinary tract infections, osteomyelitits, peritonitis, prosthetic devices infections and pneumonia in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals. We report a case of secondary pneumonia caused by Rothia mucilaginosa in H1N1 patient.
