PMCID: PMC270514  PMID: 1400980

Abstract

Ewingella americana was isolated from two blood cultures from a 75-year-old male after cholecystectomy. The characteristics of this strain are compared with the reported biochemical characteristics of 44 American strains. Previously described infections and pseudoinfections with E. americana are reviewed.
