Abstract
- Arcobacter butzleri, a gram-negative, slightly curved bacterium previously described as an aerotolerant Campylobacter, was isolated from the blood of a 53-year-old male patient with alcoholic cirrhosis. The isolate was identified by various phenotypic tests and 16S rRNA sequencing analysis. The patient was treated with amikacin and recovered uneventfully. To our knowledge, this is the first case of A. butzleri bacteremia reported in Korea.
