Robinsoniella peoriensis bacteremia in a patient with pancreatic cancer.
Robinsoniella peoriensis was recently identified as a Gram-positive, spore-forming, anaerobic rod originally isolated from swine manure storage pits. We describe here a case of R. peoriensis bacteremia in a 42-year-old male with pancreatic cancer. The identification was confirmed by unique phenotypic profiles and partial 16S rRNA gene sequences.
