Severe Lung Infection and Septicemia Caused by Paludibacterium purpuratum—A Case Report and Evaluation of Bacterial Traits

Paludibacterium species are gram stain–negative rods that are facultatively anaerobic; they have been isolated from wetland soil. Clinical infection caused by this genus is rarely reported. We report the case of an 84-year-old woman with chronic renal disease and hypertension who acquired P. purpura...

We report the case of an 84-year-old woman with chronic renal disease and hypertension who acquired P. purpuratum lung infection and septicemia in Southern Taiwan.
