Desulfovibrio Bacteremia in Patients with Abdominal Infections, Japan, 2020-2025.

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_DES-1-like), 1 D. falkowii (bla_MUN-1), and 2 D. fairfieldensis (bla_CfiA-like). Mass spectometry failed to identify D. falkowii or D. legallii.
