Successful Treatment of Bacillus cereus Bacteremia in a Patient with Propionic Acidemia
Bacillus cereus can cause serious, life-threatening, systemic infections in immunocompromised patients. The ability of microorganism to form biofilm on biomedical devices can be responsible for catheter-related bloodstream infections. Other manifestations of severe disease are meningitis, endocardit...
