Septicemia due to Solobacterium moorei in a patient with multiple myeloma.
We report a case of bacteremia caused by Solobacterium moorei, an anaerobic, non-sporulated Gram-positive bacillus in a patient with a multiple myeloma. The source of infection was presumably related to multiple dento-alveolar abscesses. This is the first recovery of S. moorei from blood cultures.
