Fatal septic shock caused by diagnosed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

Introduction: is a commensal bacterium found in the saliva of dogs and cats. In most cases causes local infection resulting from bite-wounds, scratches or licks but severe forms can occur. The following case describes a severe and rapidly fatal sepsis and disseminated intravascular coagulation with no evidence of bite in a patient without obvious cause of immunosuppression, diagnosed by polymerase chain reaction and 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

Pneumonia and pulmonary abscess due to in an immunocompromised patient.

Introduction: are gram-negative bacilli living in soil and aquatic habitats. They are responsible for less than 10% of legionellosis, but have a propensity to affect people suffering from immunodeficiency. Lung cavitations may also occur in this population.

Spondylodiscitis and bacteremia due to Staphylococcus hyicus in an immunocompetent man.

Introduction: Staphylococcus hyicus is a coagulase-variable Staphylococcus spp. well-known by veterinarians since it is the major agent of a severe cutaneous infection in piglets called exudative epidermitis. In other species the symptoms of infection are quite different.
