Neonatal Sepsis Due to Bacillus subtilis

Bacillus subtilis is a gram-positive bacillus, commonly found in the environment (also as an endospore) and in the human gut (in a carrier-state), being considered as a bacterium of minimal virulence. We present a rare case of late-onset neonatal sepsis with multiple positive blood cultures and isol...

We present a rare case of late-onset neonatal sepsis with multiple positive blood cultures and isolation of B. subtilis as the causative pathogen.
