Abstract
Although Escherichia fergusonii has been identified for decades, it has rarely been recovered from clinical specimens and its clinical significance remains unclear. We describe a case of E. fergusonii bacteremia in a diabetic patient with pancreatic cancer. The isolate was confirmed by three commercial identification systems and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The patient's clinical condition gradually improved, and repeated blood cultures were negative after antibiotic treatment with an in vitro active agent (ceftriaxone).Entities:
