Bacteremia Caused by Comamonas kerstersii in a Patient with Diverticulosis

ABSTRACT We report for the first time a case of bacteremia caused by Comamonas kerstersii in a 65-year-old patient with sign of diverticulosis. In addition, we review the isolation of Comamonas sp. and related organisms in our hospital over 25 years.
