Paracoccus yeei: a new unusual opportunistic bacterium in ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
Abstract
Paracoccus yeei was identified as the etiologic agent of peritonitis in an ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patient. While the old biochemical identification kits are not able to identify this species, the new colorimetric VITEK 2 GN card correctly identified this isolate in 7hours. Its identity was confirmed by sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene.
