Abstract

Bacillus cereus, a gram-positive bacterium, is widely distributed in soil and food. Human infections caused by Bacillus cereus are mainly food-borne and pulmonary infections are rarely reported. A case of pulmonary abscess caused by Bacillus cereus is described in this paper. There is no standard anti-infective treatment for pulmonary abscess caused by Bacillus cereus. Clinical pharmacists gave antimicrobial treatment suggestions by under-standing the epidemiological characteristics of the bacteria, referring to relevant literature and combining with the clinical conditions of patients, so that the infection foci of patient was effectively controlled and treated, which fully embodies the clinical value of clinical pharmacists.
