title: Two bacteremia cases associated with Rothia mucilaginosa.
abstract: We here report two cases of blood stream infection due to Rothia mucilaginosa. The isolates were identified as R. mucilaginosa using a VITEK 2 automated sytem and a MALDI-TOF MS system. Then, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed for the confirmation of the isolates. This is the first documented report of bacteremia due to this unusual agent in Turkey.
