The first case of Janibacter hoylei bacteremia in an adult
The Janibacter species are Gram positive, coryneform bacteria that belong to the Actinobacteria phylum and have been linked to bacteremia in immunocompromised children. We present the first documented adult case of Janibacter hoylei bacteremia. The patient was a 52-year-old woman with a history of r...
