title: Septicaemia caused by a penicillin-resistant Moraxella-like organism in a neutropenic patient.
abstract: Invasive infections with Moraxella and related species are unusual. In this report we describe a case of septicaemia in an immunocompromised patient caused by a Moraxella-like organism. The organism was difficult to identify in the laboratory and was also unusual in that it was resistant to penicillin.
