Fig. 1 Computed tomography (CT) scan of multiple abscesses. On postoperative day 29, the CT scan indicated abscesses around the pancreas graft and at the left inguinal and right intraperitoneal regions.
Fig. 2 Bacteriological characterizations. (A) Colonies on the ABHK/BBE agar. Colonies grown on ABHK/BBE agar medium under anaerobic conditions at 35℃; tiny translucent colonies were slightly apparent after incubation for three days. (B) Gram-stained smear of colonies. Gram stain (1,000×). No bacteria with complete cellular morphology were observed among the Gram-stained colonies, and only unclear structures such as granules were detectable.
