Bacteremia caused by an undescribed species of Janibacter

J Clin Microbiol. 2005 Jul;43(7):3564-6. doi: 10.1128/JCM.43.7.3564-3566.2005.

Abstract

A yellow-pigmented rod- to coccoid-shaped coryneform microorganism was isolated from the blood of a patient with acute myeloid leukemia. It was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing as a previously undescribed species of Janibacter. The isolate was susceptible to penicillins, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, and glycopeptides.
