Trueperella bernardiae Abscess Infection: a Case Report

Trueperella bernardiae was first characterized in 1987 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a corynebacterium group 2 bacterium, as it was considered an uncommon pathogen, causing only opportunistic infections in compromised patients [1]. Only 15 cases of human infection have been reported since that time, which consist of urinary tract infections [2,3], joint infections [4–6], skin and soft-tissue infections [7,8], eye infection [9], necrotizing fasciitis [10], diabetic foot ulcer [11], bacteremia [7,8,12], and brain abscess [13].
