First Isolation and Clinical Case of <i>Brevundimonas</i> <i>diminuta</i> in a Newborn with Low Birth Weight, in Democratic Republic of Congo: A Case Report

<i>Brevundimonas diminuta</i> is rarely described in clinical specimens, never at the umbilical stump. Most of the reported cases are in patients with underlying pathologies. We must integrate this microorganism in the etiological agents of nosocomial infections, but much remains to be u...
