Abstract

We encountered a pediatric case of bacteremia and possible cholecystitis due to Moraxella osloensis that was treated successfully. We confirmed the diagnosis with the presence of a high serum titer of the antibody to the organism. Furthermore, 16S rRNA sequencing was performed to identify the bacteria.
