Kerstersia gyiorum-Caused Chronic Osteomyelitis in a Male Patient with Cerebral Infarction: A Case Report and Literature Review
<i>Kerstersia gyiorum</i> (<i>K. gyiorum</i>) had been reported as a rare cause of human infections. In this study, we isolated an uncommon strain of <i>K. gyiorum</i> from swab specimens of a male patient with cerebral infarction. The identification was performed using VITEK MS in the RUO (Research Use Only) mode and 16s rRNA gene sequencing. We hereby report a case of chronic osteomyelitis caused by <i>K. gyiorum</i> in a patient with cerebral infarction and left-sided limb hemiplegia in China.
