Robinsoniella peoriensis Bacteremia: a Second Case in Korea

Dear Editor, Robinsoniella peoriensis is a gram-positive, spore-forming, anaerobic rod originally isolated from swine manure storage pits [1]. Most R. peoriensis strains have been isolated from environmental sources, but this organism was isolated from human blood, abdominal fluid, wound, muscle hem...

Zusammenfassung:	Dear Editor, Robinsoniella peoriensis is a gram-positive, spore-forming, anaerobic rod originally isolated from swine manure storage pits [1]. Most R. peoriensis strains have been isolated from environmental sources, but this organism was isolated from human blood, abdominal fluid, wound, muscle hematoma puncture, or necrotic tissue in nine cases [2-6]. Here, we describe a second Korean case of R. peoriensis bacteremia, which was confirmed via 16S rRNA sequencing. KCI Citation Count: 3
