Abstract

Pannonibacter phragmitetus is an environmental pathogen that can occasionally cause serious infections in humans. While positive cultures for this organism in an otherwise asymptomatic person likely represent contamination, this microbe should not be ignored in patients who show signs of sepsis. This is the first report of a ventilator associated pneumonia caused by this organism.

Keywords: Pathogen, rhizomes, inorganic, pneumonia, subdural hematoma, hypertension.
