Rare microbiological and anatomical presentations and findings are interesting incidents that require further attention. It is important to note that, although these organisms are rare, they still pose a significant risk for the development of necrotizing soft tissue infections. By reporting such cases, we will aid in raising awareness of these organisms.<\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1128\/asmcr.00046-24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,10]],"date-time":"2024-12-10T13:05:11Z","timestamp":1733835911000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Chest wall-necrotizing soft tissue infection caused by\n            <i>Finegoldia magna<\/i>\n            and\n            <i>Helcococcus kunzii<\/i>\n            in an immunocompromised patient: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"1","author":[{"given":"Thamer","family":"Alaifan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Adult Critical Care Medicine, Ministry of National Guard\u2014Health Affairs","place":["Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"]},{"name":"College of Medicine, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences","place":["Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"]},{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Center","place":["Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdualhakeem","family":"Al-Thaqafi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences","place":["Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"]},{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Center","place":["Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"]},{"name":"Department of Infectious Disease, Ministry of National Guard\u2014Health Affairs","place":["Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Enas","family":"Munshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Center","place":["Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"]},{"name":"Department of Infectious Disease, Ministry of National Guard\u2014Health Affairs","place":["Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mai","family":"Kaaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Center","place":["Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"]},{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Ministry of National Guard\u2014Health Affairs","place":["Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdulrahman","family":"Khojah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences","place":["Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-6464-0125","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Abdulrazak","family":"Sakhakhni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Adult Critical Care Medicine, Ministry of National Guard\u2014Health Affairs","place":["Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"]},{"name":"College of Medicine, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences","place":["Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"]},{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Center","place":["Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.NURSE.0000694752.85118.62"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5604\/01.3001.0015.7676"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/SLA.0000000000002774"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jemermed.2012.09.039"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.ccm.0000129486.35458.7d"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1308\/rcsann.2017.0053"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658-199611000-00011"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjid.2013.08.003"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mehy.2012.04.013"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000195932"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arbres.2010.09.007"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anaerobe.2008.11.001"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0732-8893(03)00091-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.01192-09"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1985.03360070085029"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2020-235115"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7759\/cureus.19685"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_19_2","first-page":"359","article-title":"A case of necrotizing fasciitis caused by Finegoldia magna in A patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus","volume":"26","author":"Scapaticci M","year":"2018","unstructured":"Scapaticci M, Marchetto S, Nardi A, Zoppelletto M, Bartolini A. 2018.
