Emerging pathogens: A case of Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica and Ignatzschineria indica bacteremia

Abstract

infections have been documented only in farm and feral animals. Major risk factors for infection include: poor hygiene, open wounds, peripheral vascular disease, and myiasis. Due to the rarity of infection, identification of both organisms can be difficult, therefore a high index of suspicion is required.
