title: First report of Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica from soft tissue and bone infection at an unusually high northern latitude.
abstract: Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica is a rare human pathogen mostly associated with parasitic flies. This is the report on W. chitiniclastica infection in the soft tissue and bone at a 58°N latitude in the northern temperate climate zone. The importance of correct identification of clinically relevant bacteria is highlighted.
