| description | It is well known that Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) are a major concern in the field of medicine. The newer pathogens have been implicated as one of the causative agents in these infections. Recently our laboratory had reported a rare pathogen from a postoperative case admitted in the tertiary care hospital. The causative agent was a Gram negative bacillus, which was identified as Chryseobacterium gleum by automation method (VITEK 2 Biomeriux). This is a rare bacterium that was isolated from a respiratory specimen of a 32-year-old male who was involved in a road traffic accident. Repetitive culture was done followed by Gram stain and biochemical reactions and identified as Chryseobacterium gleum by automated system. It is interesting to study this bacterium for its virulence, habitat and source of infections. This is the second case report which has been reported as a causative agent in HAI as per our knowledge from India. |
