Septicemia caused by Sphingobacterium multivorum

J Freney et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1987 Jun.

Abstract

Sphingobacterium multivorum was isolated in pure culture from the blood of a man undergoing chemotherapy for a lymphoma. He responded to appropriate antibiotics and later showed a significant rise in specific serum antibodies. Carbon substrate assimilation tests and fatty acid analysis proved useful in identifying the organism precisely.
