Clostridium glycolicum bacteremia in a bone marrow transplant patient

Sameer Elsayed et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2007 May.

Abstract

We describe a case of Clostridium glycolicum bacteremia and septic shock in an adult woman with a recent bone marrow transplant for relapsed Hodgkin's disease. The bacterium was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. This is the first published report of the recovery of this organism from human clinical material.
