到他入院治疗的第四天医生最终分离出并确认了病因：一种名为犬噬菌体的细菌。

This is not a rare microbe; in fact, it's a normal and healthy member of the gingival flora in cats and dogs around the world. It is only transmitted to humans very rarely, and then it is usually through dog bites to immunodeficient or otherwise compromised patients, such as alcoholics.

这种微生物并不罕见，其实它是全世界猫和狗牙龈菌群中正常存在的有益细菌。但它很少传播给人类，通常是免疫功能有缺陷或受损的病人，如酗酒者，被狗咬伤之后才会感染。

The man had not been bitten or otherwise injured by his dog, nor was he immunodeficient or otherwise compromised; in the weeks preceding his illness, his dog had only licked him. But in this case, it was enough.

该男子没有被咬，也没有被他的狗伤到，他免疫功能没有缺陷，也没有受损。在他生病前几周他的狗只是舔了他，但就这个情况来看，就是这个原因了。

Over the days following his diagnosis, in spite of an adjusted treatment regime, his condition worsened. Multiple organs failed, and he contracted pneumonia. On the 16th day after admission, he died of severe septic shock.

在他确诊后的几天里，尽管调整了治疗方案，但他的情况还是恶化了。他多个器官衰竭，出现了肺炎。在入院后的第16天，他死于严重的败血性休克。
