Abstract

A patient developed bacteremia with CDC group M-6, a Moraxella-like bacterium, after a complicated heart catheterization. He was treated with tobramycin and ampicillin. The aortic valve was later replaced and did not show any signs of infection. The slow growth of M-6 can delay diagnosis and give misleading antibiotic susceptibility results. Penicillin is not always active against this organism.
