Pylephlebitis Due to Parvimonas micra

AbstractParvimonas micra is an anaerobic Gram-positive coccus that is part of the normal flora of the mouth and the gastrointestinal tract. It can cause a broad range of invasive infections in humans, including intra-abdominal abscesses and bacteremia. It previously belonged to the genus Peptostreptococcus until anaerobic Gram-positive cocci have undergone extensive reclassification after the development of newer molecular techniques. Considering their various clinical manifestations related to their virulence, it is paramount for clinicians to recognize the characteristics of the major anaerobic Gram-positive cocci and their associated clinical importance. We herein report a case of bacteremia due to P. micra in a 62-year-old man who developed cholecystitis complicated by pylephlebitis. We then review other cases of P. micra–associated infections reported in the literature to discuss its pathogenic potentials and clinical manifestations.
