Abstract

Lautropia mirabilis is an opportunistic pathogen that typically causes intestinal and oral infections when the body’s immune system is compromised or the microbial flora is imbalanced. Respiratory infections caused by Lautropia mirabilis are extremely rare. The symptoms and severity of Lautropia mirabilis infection may vary depending on individual differences and the site of infection. Through a review of relevant literature and this case study, it has been observed that Lautropia mirabilis may also cause pulmonary infectious diseases, and in immunocompromised patients, it can lead to severe infections, potentially resulting in death.
