Early-onset neonatal sepsis due to Cellulosimicrobium cellulans

Abstract

Cellulosimicrobium cellulans represents a rare human pathogen. Infections have been reported in immunocompromised hosts or in patients with an underlying disease. The authors describe a rare case of early-onset neonatal sepsis due to Cellulosimicrobium cellulans in an infant without any underlying disease. The infant was successfully treated with vancomycin.
