Paenibacillus wound infection in a pediatric trauma patient

We report a case of Paenibacillus wound infection in an immunocompetent and otherwise healthy nine-year-old boy who sustained a laceration following an all-terrain vehicle crash. During his course, he failed non-operative management and required multiple wound washouts and a thirty-six-day course of...
