Abstract
<p>We have encountered a rare case of Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens infection. The patient was an 89-year-old woman who was taking prednisolone and had diabetes and a dog. She was admitted to our hospital because of a fever and inability to eat. She was diagnosed as having pneumonia on the basis of CT findings. Antibiotics were started after blood cultures were taken. Gram-negative spiral bacteria grew from her blood culture the next day. Although it was impossible to determine the bacterial species with a commercially available kit, A. succiniciproducens was identified by mass spectrometry. In addition, a 100% concordance was obtained in the 16S RNA gene search. Although A. succiniciproducens infection is difficult to determine in hospitals without a mass spectrometer, it can be estimated from Gram staining findings, colony findings, biochemical properties, and the presence of a dog. It is important to accumulate knowledge on methods to identify A. succiniciproducens.</p>
