ABSTRACT
Stomatococcus mucilaginosus is a Gram-positive coccus normally found in the oropharynx and upper respiratory tract. Recently, S. mucilaginosus has been increasingly reported to cause seri-ous infections in immunocompromised patients. A 42-year-old male patient with chronic myeloge-nous leukemia developed the clinical signs and symptoms of septicemia in the state of neutropenia due to the failure of a bone marrow transplant. The blood cultures revealed Gram-positive cocci in three sets of aerobic blood culture bottles. The bacteria were identified as S. mucilaginosus by an API STAPH Identification Panel (bioMerieux SA, Marcy 1 'Etoile, France). The patient was cured bacteriologically with a vancomycin treatment for 20 days. Here we report the first case of S. mucilaginosus septicemia in Korea.
