Brevundimonas Vesicularis Bacteremia In A Neonate: A Rare Case Report.
Brevundimonas Vesicularis Bacteremia In A Neonate
Keywords:
Bacteremia, Neonate, B.vesicularisAbstract
There are very few cases of Brevundimonas vesicularis reported worldwide. We present a case of bacteremia in a neonate who had aspirated meconium . A blood culture showed growth of a non hemolytic yellow colored colony at 37°C. It was identified as Brevundimonas vesicularis by Vitek 2 automated system (BioMeriuex). There are only a couple of reported cases of bacteremia caused by Brevundimonas vesicularis . To our best of knowledge this is the third case report of Brevundimonas vesicularis bacteremia from India.
