Ulceroglandular Infection and Bacteremia Caused by Francisella salimarina in Immunocompromised Patient, France.

ABSTRACT: Although Francisella tularensis is a well-known, highly virulent bacterium that causes tularemia in humans, other Francisella species have been associated with sporadic human infections. We describe a human cutaneous infection with bacteremia caused by F. salimarina, a Francisella species recently identified from seawater and fishes, in an immunocompromised patient in France.
