Özet

Granulicatella adiacens is a commensal of oral, urogenital and gastrointestinal flora which rarely causes infection. It mostly causes infections in immunosuppressed patients. Isolation of this bacteria is difficult due to its fastidious nature and slow growth on routine cultures. Here we report a patient with bacteremia caused by G.adiacens.
