About
Dr. Mami Nakae is a clinical microbiologist and infectious disease specialist whose research focuses on the epidemiology and clinical management of emerging bacterial pathogens, particularly *Helicobacter cinaedi*. Her most cited work documents a rare outbreak of *H. cinaedi* bacteremia in a urological ward, detailing four cases among post-surgical prostate cancer patients. This study, published in 2017, is a critical contribution to understanding the transmission and risk factors of this fastidious, often underdiagnosed pathogen in hospital settings. With 2 citations, the paper serves as a key reference for clinicians and infection control teams dealing with unusual nosocomial outbreaks. Dr. Nakae’s research underscores the importance of heightened surveillance for *H. cinaedi* in immunocompromised and post-operative patients, and her work has helped raise awareness of this bacterium’s role in healthcare-associated infections. Her findings continue to inform diagnostic protocols and antimicrobial stewardship strategies in urology and infectious disease wards.
