A case of central venous catheter-related bacteraemia due to Roseomonas mucosa in a neutropenic patient with acute myelogenous leukaemia is reported. The patient was successfully treated with amikacin and piperacillin-tazobactam. The clinical isolate was identified as R. mucosa by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

species has been associated with infections in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts, manifesting as peritonitis, bacteremia, catheter-related bacteremia, endophthalmitis, spondylitis, and endocarditis. Here we present a man in his 60s who was brought to our institution for sudden onset of aphasia, right-sided paresthesia, and new onset tonic-clonic seizure episodes. At presentation, he was found to have severe lactic acidosis, acute kidney failure, bilateral hydronephrosis, elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and an enlarged prostate.

() is a pink-pigmented, aerobic, nonfermentative, slow-growing Gram-negative coccus typically isolated from the natural environment, human skin, and hospital environment. This pathogen, in most circumstances, leads to infections in immunocompromised hosts, but it may sometimes invade immunocompetent individuals. Bacteraemia is the most common form of infection caused by .

Hepatic abscesses can rarely cause pericardial disease by erosion into the pericardial space and present with haemodynamic instability due cardiac tamponade. While rare, these dramatic presentations are more often due to amoebic abscesses than bacterial abscesses. Importantly, a cause must be found for any cryptogenic hepatic abscess regardless of presentation, as there is a high association with underlying malignancy.

species have been recognized to cause infections in immunocompromised individuals. The purpose of this study was to systemically review all published cases of infections in humans and describe the epidemiology, microbiology, antimicrobial susceptibility, treatment and outcomes of these infections in humans. We performed a systematic review of PubMed (through 20 Octrober 2019) for studies providing epidemiological, clinical, microbiological as well as treatment data and outcomes of species infections.
