Isolation of Dysgonic Fermenter 3, a Rare Isolate Associated with Diarrhoea in Immunocompromised Patients

Abstract

CDC group DF-3 is a rare isolate from blood, stools and wounds. During the last few years attention to this bacterium has increased due to its association with diarrhoea and bacteremia in immunocompromised patients. This report presents an isolation of this bacterium from a decubitus ulcer of a subfebrile patient with diarrhoea.
