Soft Tissue Infection of Immunocompetent Man with Cat-Derived Globicatella Species.

ABSTRACT: We report a novel Globicatella species causing extensive soft tissue infection in a man bitten by a stray domestic cat in the United Kingdom. We identified this bacterium by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, whole-genome sequencing, and biochemical profiling and determined antimicrobial drug susceptibility.
