Abstract
Dolosigranulum pigrum is an unusual gram-positive catalase-negative coccus. It was isolated, only after prolonged incubation, from bronchial secretions from a patient with ventilator-associated pneumonia. The patient responded well to antimicrobial therapy. Identification was done by 16S rRNA DNA sequence analysis, but it can be done with relatively simple phenotypic tests.Entities:
