Adivina el patógeno 🦠:

- Aislado en muestra de hemocultivo en paciente oncológico.
- Diplococo gram negativo aerobio.
- Catalasa y oxidasa +.
- Fermentador de glucosa.
- Puede ocasionar infecciones del SNC y bacteriemias. 🧠🩸

#MicroRounds (Day 998): 'nucleation'

2 of 2 blood culture *sets* (not bottles) growing a non-motile spindly GNR? May be Fusobacterium.

This F. nucleatum grew in bundles & clusters, possibly related to its reported aggregation/plaque formation ability. #ASMClinMicro #IDTwitter

Histology of a maxilla biopsy from an elderly patient. GMS stain shows large aggregates of thin branching filamentous organisms, highly suggestive of Actinomyces.
