Catabacter hongkongensis bacteremia identified by direct metagenomic sequencing of positive blood culture fluid, first case report in the US.

Abstract

Catabacter hongkongensis, an increasingly recognized bacteria in clinical samples, was identified by direct metagenomic sequencing of positive blood culture fluid from a 55-year-old patient with colonic perforation. The bacteremia was cleared by both antibiotic treatment and surgical intervention. This is the first case report of C. hongkongensis infection in the US.
