ABSTRACT
Brevibacillus laterosporus (B. laterosporus) is an aerobic gram-positive bacillus that is rarely associated with human infection. A review of multiple online databases revealed no other cases of bacteremia in an adult involving this organism. Historically, this "canoe-shaped" microbe has been characterized as a pathogen in invertebrates, and information regarding human infection is scarce. We present a clinical vignette of what we believe to be the first reported case of B. laterosporus bacteremia in an adult human subject.
