Mobiluncus curtisii bacteremia
2008
Abstract Mobiluncus curtisii was isolated from the blood of a 35-year-old man with a medical history of ulcerative colitis who was admitted unconscious to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). A CT scan revealed massive intracerebral hemorrhage in the left hemisphere. Temperature remained constant over 38.5 °C; therefore, two sets of blood cultures were collected. One anaerobic bottle BacT/ALERT SN (bioMerieux, France) was detected as positive after 5 days of incubation and a Gram stain confirmed a gram variable curved-shaped rod. The patient died 18 h after being admitted to the hospital.
