Isolation of Kerstersia gyiorum from a patient with cholesteatomatous chronic otitis media

Marisa N Almuzara et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2012 Nov.

Abstract

We describe the first case of a Kerstersia gyiorum strain isolated from a patient with cholesteatomatous chronic otitis media. We emphasize the isolation of members of the family Alcaligenaceae in serious infections and unusual sites and the importance of polyphasic identification addressing the definitive identification.
