Solobacterium moorei bacteremia: identification, antimicrobial susceptibility, and clinical characteristics.

ABSTRACT: We present five cases of Solobacterium moorei bacteremia. The isolates were identified with 16S rRNA gene sequencing and were susceptible to common antibiotics used for anaerobic infections. Bacteremia with S. moorei seems to be associated with debilitating conditions, but the prognosis of the infection appears to be good.
