title: Isolation of Carnobacterium sp. from a human blood culture.
abstract: Carnobacterium species have been isolated from the environment and are not regarded as human pathogens, although they are known to cause disease in fish. Only two reports describing isolation of Carnobacterium species from human pus were found in the literature. We report what we believe to be the first isolation of Carnobacterium sp. from a human blood culture.
