<i>Desulfovibrio</i> Bacteremia in Patients with Abdominal Infections, Japan, 2020–2025

We reviewed 8 episodes of Desulfovibrio bacteremia in Japan (2020-2025) and confirmed 4 species by 16S rRNA gene and whole-genome sequencing. We detected β-lactamase genes in 2 D. desulfuricans (bla<sub>DES-1</sub>-like), 1 D. falkowii (bla<sub>MUN-1</sub>), and 2 D. fairfieldensis (bla<sub>CfiA</sub>-like). Mass spectometry failed to identify D. falkowii or D. legallii.

Abstract

We reviewed 8 episodes of Desulfovibrio bacteremia in Japan (2020-2025) and confirmed 4 species by 16S rRNA gene and whole-genome sequencing. We detected β-lactamase genes in 2 D. desulfuricans (bla<sub>DES-1</sub>-like), 1 D. falkowii (bla<sub>MUN-1</sub>), and 2 D. fairfieldensis (bla<sub>CfiA</sub>-like). Mass spectometry failed to identify D. falkowii or D. legallii.
