ABSTRACT
Shewanella algae (S. algae) is a rare bacterium that causes infectious diseases in humans. Herein, we present a case of an 84-year-old man with S. algae-induced bacteremia and performed a review of 12 cases identified via a literature search and this case. Literature review of previous reports in Japan have revealed that 69.2% of patients with S. algae-induced bacteremia had a history of contact with fresh fish. Appropriate interviews of patients, especially in the hot season, and the accurate identification of the causative bacterium, by using techniques such as MALDI-TOF-MS and genetic testing, are necessary if S. algae or other bacteria from the genus Shewanella are detected in blood-culture tests.
