Herbaspirillum species bacteremia in a pediatric oncology patient

Edward D Ziga et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2010 Nov.

Abstract

Herbaspirillum species, an organism commonly found in soil, has only recently been linked to disease in humans. We report Herbaspirillum bacteremia in a 2-year-old female patient following a hematopoietic stem cell transplant for relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
