Bacteremia Secondary to Uncommon Gram-Negative Bacilli Transmitted From the Canine in a Patient With Multiple Myeloma

Abstract

Sphingobacterium multivorum is a gram-negative rod found in the environment and rarely associated with human infections. Sphingobacterium is the causative agent of infections in an immunocompromised host in most cases. We report a rare case of cellulitis in an immunocompromised host by Sphingobacterium multivorum.
