Isolation of Bordetella bronchiseptica from blood and a pancreatic abscess

Nancy A Matic et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2015 May.

Abstract

Bordetella bronchiseptica is a respiratory pathogen rarely encountered in human hosts. We describe a case of bacteremia and pancreatic abscess caused by this organism. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of B. bronchiseptica causing intra-abdominal infection in the form of an abscess.
