Septic Shock due to Unusual Pathogens, and in an Immune Competent Patient

Septic Shock due to Unusual Pathogens, and in an Immune Competent Patient

Comamonas testosteroni and Acinetobacter guillouiae are gram-negative bacilli of low virulence that are widely distributed in nature and normal flora. Despite their common occurrence in environments, they rarely cause infectious disease. We experienced a case of septic shock by C. testosterone and A...
