Abstract

Two Bacteremia Cases Associated with Rothia Mucilaginosa by Tuba Kayman, Tayfun Akalin, Hediye Ugur, Bulent Bozdogan, Serhat Duyan

We here report two cases of blood stream infection due to Rothia mucilaginosa. The isolates were identified as R. mucilaginosa using a VITEK 2 automated sytem and a MALDI-TOF MS system. Then, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed for the confirma-tion of the isolates. This is the first documented report of bacteremia due to this unusual agent in Turkey.
