Volume 45, no. 4, p. 1366-1369, 2007. In our paper we claim to report the first human case of Caulobacter sp. infection. Recently we discovered that the article might not represent the first published report of a human case of Caulobacter sp. infection. In a paper by M. Drancourt et al. (J. Clin. Microbiol. 38:3623-3630, 2000), 16S ribosomal DNA sequence analysis of a large collection of environmental and clinical unidentifiable bacterial isolates is presented. In table 1, p. 3625, a Caulobacter intermedius isolate from a clinical source is reported. Although the case is not described any further, that might represent the first report of a human case of Caulobacter sp. infection, whereas ours is the first to be reported in detail.
