First report of isolation and characterization of Aurantimonas altamirensis from clinical samples.
The genus Aurantimonas, proposed in 2003, encompasses four species from environmental sources, including Aurantimonas altamirensis, isolated from a cave wall in Spain. Here, we report what we believe are the first cases of the recovery of A. altamirensis from human clinical materials.
