Abstract

The first isolation of Catabacter hongkongensis in Italy is reported. Pleomorphic Gram-positive rods were grown in blood cultures from samples obtained from a 55-year-old patient admitted to the intensive care unit with sepsis after he experienced massive thoracic and abdominal trauma. The identification was obtained by amplification and sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene.

Keywords: 16S rRNA sequencing; Catabacter hongkongensis; Italy; MALDI-TOF identification failure; sepsis.
