Bacteremia or pseudobacteremia? Review of pseudomonas fluorescens infections
Journal Title: World Journal of Emergency Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
P. fluorescens is an aerobic, Gram-negative bacillus related to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Like other species of Pseudomonas, the organism is widespread in nature and is found in water, moist soil, and vegetation. Due to its low virulence, P. fluorescens is an infrequent cause of infections except for catheter-related bloodstream infections in cancer patients.
