title: Perinatal sepsis caused by Williamsia serinedens infection in a 31-year-old pregnant woman.
abstract: Williamsia serinedens has been isolated from soil but has not yet been implicated in human disease. We report the first case of perinatal sepsis caused by a dual-morphotype form of Williamsia serinedens in a 31-year-old pregnant woman hospitalized with preterm labor.
