Flavimonas oryzihabitans infection of a surgical wound.
An unusual case of a post operative wound infection involving Flavimonas oryzihabitans is described. This organism is rarely isolated from human sources. It can cause infections in patients having continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Our patient developed a wound infection 2 months after femoro-popliteal bypass grafting. The source of the organism was unknown.
