    Area of Science:

    • Medical Microbiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Pseudomonas pickettii is a Gram-negative bacterium.
    • This species is typically found in environmental sources and is rarely associated with human infections.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with bacteremia, a serious bloodstream infection.
    • The causative agent was identified as Pseudomonas pickettii.

    Findings:

    • This report documents the first confirmed case of human infection attributed to Pseudomonas pickettii.
    • The identification of this species as a pathogen expands the spectrum of known Pseudomonas-related diseases.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider Pseudomonas pickettii in the differential diagnosis of infections, particularly in certain patient populations.
