- Abstract
- Leptotrichia is a pencil-shaped Gram-negative rod and is known as an uncommon pathogen of bacteremia in immunocompromised patients. However, because culture and identification of Leptotrichia species is difficult in clinical laboratories, Leptotrichia goodfellowii is grossly underestimated as a human pathogen. In this study, we report a case of L. goodfellowii bacteremia in an immunocompetent patient and review 5 previously reported cases describing infection with L. goodfellowii.
