Leuconostoc garlicum에 의한 균혈증 1예 = A Case of Bacteremia Caused by Leuconostoc garlicum

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Although Leuconostoc species have rarely been isolated from clinical specimens, this organism may cause invasive infections such as bacteremia and meningitis in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of
Leuconostoc garlicum bacteremia in an 84-year-old male with hemovac catheter placement, vancomycin therapy, and inflammatory enterocolitis as underlying risk factors.
