Abstract

Brevundimonas spp. are infrequently isolated from clinical samples, including blood. The vast majority of reported cases have underlying diseases. Whether these microorganisms represent true pathogens of human disease in all populations remains to be explored. We present 2 cases of bloodstream infection caused by Brevundimonas sp., with one of these individuals immunocompetent, and discuss the possible role of these organisms in different patient populations.
