Abstract
Pantea agglomerans (formerly named Enterobacter agglomerans) is a Gramnegative bacterium belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family. This organism is found in plants as well as in human and animal feces. P. agglomerans infection is rare in humans and usually associated with plant thorn injury or invasive procedures. 1,2 We report the unusual case of sepsis caused by P. agglomerans in a healthy infant who had previously been hospitalized with rotavirus gastroenteritis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
