Eleven of the clinical strains of B. casei were isolated from blood, and two each were isolated from cerebrospinal fluid and from pleural fluid. At least five isolates were from multiple blood or …

At least five isolates were from multiple blood or cerebrospinal fluid cultures. To our knowledge, these strains are the first described clinical isolates identified as B. casei, which was previously considered …

The genus, as currently defined, was established in 1953 by Breed (6) and includes four species (17), Brevibacterium linens (the type species), Brevibacterium epidermidis, Brevibacterium casei, …

They were not further identified, but they were biochemically distinguishable from B. casei. Eleven of the clinical strains of B. casei were isolated from blood, and two each were isolated from cerebrospinal …

May 9, 2025 · Objective: This narrative review aims to present all the reported cases of Brevibacterium spp. infections in humans, focusing on data about epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance, …

Brevibacterium casei is an emerging opportunistic pathogen, increasingly implicated in catheter-related bloodstream infections among immunocompromised and critically ill patients.

Brevibacterium spp should be considered an opportunistic cause of bacteremia and cardiovascular infection in immunosuppressed hosts without an alternative explanation. Additional studies need to …

Jan 13, 2026 · Present study estimates the genetic diversity and factors effecting evolutionary dynamics of B. casei strains.

In this report, we describe a case of B. casei bacteremia and sepsis in a patient with AIDS associated with a contaminated Hickmann catheter and review the microbiology and characteristics of these …
