This report describes a case of severe pneumonia associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and Moraxella catarrhalis bacteraemia in a 44-y-old woman with undiagnosed breast carcinoma. M. pneumoniae is increasingly recognized as a co-pathogen but to the authors' knowledge this is the first reported case of M. catarrhalis bacteraemia associated with M. pneumoniae infection.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed Moraxella species bloodstream infections (BSIs) in Queensland, Australia, over a 19-year period, highlighting their rarity and low overall incidence.
- Among the 375 BSIs documented, M. catarrhalis was the most common isolate, with infants showing the highest incidence rates, while males and those with comorbidities were at greater risk overall.
- The 30-day case-fatality rate was low at 4%, but significantly higher in adults compared to children, indicating a need for further understanding of risk factors associated with these infections.

Case Presentation: We report a rare case of bacteremia and polyarticular septic arthritis in a 37-year-old pregnant woman with HIV who injects drugs. Two sets of blood cultures obtained 5 hours apart were positive for gram-negative bacilli, and purulent fluid was present intra-operatively from both her left knee and her right third MCP joints.
Diagnosis: Organism identification using ligation sequencing confirmed both her blood culture and synovial tissue isolates as .

Background: Nasopharyngeal colonisation with clinically relevant bacterial pathogens is a risk factor for severe infections, such as pneumonia and bacteraemia. In this study, we investigated the determinants of nasopharyngeal carriage in febrile patients in rural Burkina Faso.
Methods: From March 2016 to June 2017, we recruited 924 paediatric and adult patients presenting with fever, hypothermia or suspicion of severe infection to the Centre Medical avec Antenne Chirurgicale Saint Camille de Nanoro, Burkina Faso.

Community acquired pneumonia (CAP), an acute infection of the pulmonary parenchyma acquired in the community, is generally treated in an outpatient setting and involves different etiological agents. In the adult community, the most common pathogen in the disease is Streptococcus pneumonia, though other multiple etiological agents (atypical) have been involved, including Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, and Legionella pneumophila. The genus Moraxella consists of aerobic, oxidase-positive gram-negative coccobacilli.
