Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Francisella sp. from Human Cerebrospinal Fluid and Blood
Year: 2008
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: We describe the isolation of a Francisella sp. from normally sterile sites in acutely ill patients in two different states within 2 years. Microbiologic and molecular analyses indicate that this organism represents a novel Francisella sp. Clinicians and microbiologists should be aware of this new potential pathogen, as infection may be more common than recognized.
