title: First comprehensively documented case of Paracoccus yeei infection in a human.
abstract: Paracoccus yeei was isolated in pure culture from an aerobic blood culture and bulla fluid from a 67-year-old male. The biochemical identification scheme for this recently described species is outlined. Because of its reaction pattern it is not unlikely that P. yeei is underdiagnosed.
