Resumen
BARBERIS, Claudia et al. Empyema necessitatis caused by Campylobacter rectus. Rapid identification by MALDI-TOF MS. Rev. argent. microbiol. [online]. 2022, vol.54, n.4, pp.11-20. Epub 01-Dic-2022. ISSN 0325-7541. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ram.2022.03.001.
Empyema necessitatis (EN) is a very rare complication of a pleural empyema, in which the infection extends to adjacent soft tissues. Anaerobic bacteria are very rare etiologic agents of EN, which occurs in the course of chronic infections. We present the first case of empyema necessitatis caused by Campylobacter rectus. Bacterial identification was carried out by mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by the epsilometer method.
