Severe Lung Infection and Septicemia Caused by Paludibacterium purpuratum-A Case Report and Evaluation of Bacterial Traits.

ABSTRACT: Paludibacterium species are gram stain-negative rods that are facultatively anaerobic; they have been isolated from wetland soil. Clinical infection caused by this genus is rarely reported. We report the case of an 84-year-old woman with chronic renal disease and hypertension who acquired P. purpuratum lung infection and septicemia in Southern Taiwan.
