title: Spontaneous ascitic fluid infection and bacteremia due to Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in a liver transplant patient.
abstract: We report herein a case of bacteremic ascitic fluid infection in a liver transplant patient caused by a strain of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis serogroup I that lost the yersiniabactin core. The patient's outcome was favorable after a combined therapy with a third-generation cephalosporin and gentamicin.
