Bacteremia caused by Janibacter melonis.

ABSTRACT: We report a case of bacteremia caused by Janibacter melonis, a recently described aerobic actinomycete originally isolated from a spoiled oriental melon. Our patient's blood culture isolate was identified by partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing. This is the first report of the recovery of Janibacter species from humans.
