, previously known as , was initially isolated from powdered infant milk in 2010. It falls within the family (class: Enterobacterales). While was traditionally regarded as non-pathogenic, we now present a case of bacteraemia and meningitis in a 5-week-old child, successfully treated with cefotaxime. This case, in contrast to prior reports with potential contamination issues, is the first to offer compelling evidence of s pathogenicity in humans.

Recently, coagulasonegative staphylococci (CoNS), which are representatives of opportunistic microorganisms of the microbiome of the skin and mucous membranes of healthy people, have made a certain contribution to its progression. For a long time, they did not pose a threat to patients, but in recent decades among microorganisms they have been seeded in more than two-thirds of patients with postoperative mediastinitis, catheter-associated infections, as well as from wounds of the neck vessels and the inguinal region separated by pacemaker beds.
