Weissella confusa: a rare cause of vancomycin-resistant Gram-positive bacteraemia

Anil Kumar et al. J Med Microbiol. 2011 Oct.

Abstract

We describe a case of bacteraemia caused by Weissella confusa in a 48-year-old male who was operated on for adenocarcinoma of the gastro-oesophageal junction and maintained on total parenteral nutrition. Blood cultures were positive for a vancomycin-resistant streptococcus-like organism which was identified as W. confusa by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
