ABSTRACT

Globicatella sanguinis (G. sanguinis) is a gram-positive cocci resembling viridans streptococci. Hospital-acquired infection (HAI) with G. sanguinis has been very rarely reported. Here, we are reporting a rare case of HAI by G. sanguinis in a neonate who presented with prolonged hypoglycemia.

Globicatella sanguis gen.nov., sp.nov., a new gram-positive catalase-negative bacterium from human sources.

M Collins, M. Aguirre, R R Facklam … (1992)

Phylogenetic studies were performed on some Gram-positive catalase-negative cocci from human clinical sources of uncertain taxonomic position. 16S rRNA sequence analysis demonstrated that the isolates represent a hitherto unknown line of descent within the low G+C Gram-positive bacteria for which the name Globicatella sanguis gen.nov., sp.nov. is proposed.

Globicatella sanguinis meningitis associated with human carriage.

Geneviève Héry-Arnaud, Alexandra Doloy, Séverine Ansart … (2010)

Globicatella sanguinis is a rare cause of acute meningitis. We demonstrated human carriage of Globicatella by identifying cefotaxime-resistant strains in groin and rectal specimens 9 months after invasive infection. The pathogenic strain isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid and the carriage strains were accurately identified by sodA gene sequence analysis.
