Comamonas species are environmental gram-negative rods that grow forming pink-pigmented colonies. Despite their common occurrence in nature, they rarely cause human infection. We present a case of Comamonas bacteremia that we think may have been related to tropical fish exposure. The patient was treated successfully with levofloxacin.
丛毛单胞菌属是环境中的革兰氏阴性杆菌，生长时形成粉红色菌落。尽管它们在自然界中普遍存在，但很少引起人类感染。我们报告一例丛毛单胞菌血症病例，我们认为可能与接触热带鱼有关。该患者用左氧氟沙星治疗成功。
