Franciscella philomiragia in hospital patient
Aerobic blood culture bottle was positive after 48 hours of incubation; however, no organism was seen via Gram stain. Greyish, mucoid colonies were observed on blood after 24 hours of incubation at 37 °C in O2 condition. Repeated Gram-stain from the aerobic blood bottle afterre-incubation of 48 hours yielded Gram-negative coccobacilli which appeared singly and in pairs. Fransicella philomiragia was identified using the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (Score value: 2.16) and confirmed by 16S rDNA sequencing
