Abstract:
We present a case of a 34-year-old patient with abdominal sepsis caused by an infrequent species: Chimaeribacter arupi. Genomic analysis confirmed the identification which is difficult to achieve by other methods so far. To our knowledge, this represents the first case of infection by this species reported in Argentina.
