Soft tissue infection and bacteremia caused by Shewanella putrefaciens

Leonardo Pagani et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2003 May.

Shewanella putrefaciens is as yet rarely responsible for clinical syndromes in humans. However, a case involving multiple organs in an elderly male under treatment with appropriate steroids confirms that attention should be devoted to unusual pathogens.
