ABSTRACT
Chryseobacterium spp. belongs to the Flavobacteriaceae family and is a rod-shaped gram-negative, glucose non-fermenting, non-motile bacterium ubiquitous in the environment. In humans, Chryseobacterium may be responsible for infections such as urinary tract infections (UTI) and ventriculitis with a pathogenic burden increasing in recent years. Chryseobacterium gallinarum was isolated for the first time in 2014 in a pharyngeal scrape sample of chicken and, until now, only one case of human UTI has been described in a pregnant 20-year-old Indian patient. Herein, we report the first case of bloodstream infection caused by C. gallinarum in a 67-year-old female burn patient, correctly identified by 16S-rRNA sequencing and successfully treated with cefepime and fosfomycin.
