Sphingomonas paucimobilis , a yellow-pigmented, aerobic, glucose nonfermenting, Gram-negative bacilli is a rare cause of human infection. It was first discovered as an infective agent in humans in 1977 and named Pseudomonas paucimobilis. It was renamed as S. paucimobilis in 1990 in accordance with phylogenetic data. S. paucimobilis is an aerobic bacterium found in soil and water; it is a rare cause of healthcare associated infections. S. paucimobilis can cause infections in healthy as well as immunocompromised individuals. At first, its colony looks like Gram-positive bacilli colony, so by mistake it is discarded as contaminants. S. paucimobilis is an emerging pathogen and it should not be discarded as contaminants. Here, we report a case of S. paucimobilis bacteremia in a neonate who presented with respiratory distress.
少动鞘氨醇单胞菌是一种产黄色色素、需氧、不发酵葡萄糖的革兰氏阴性杆菌，是人类感染的罕见病因。它于1977年首次被发现为人类感染病原体，最初命名为少动假单胞菌。1990年根据系统发育数据重新命名为少动鞘氨醇单胞菌。少动鞘氨醇单胞菌是一种存在于土壤和水中的需氧细菌，是医疗保健相关感染的罕见病因。少动鞘氨醇单胞菌可在健康个体和免疫功能低下个体中引起感染。起初，它的菌落看起来像革兰氏阳性杆菌菌落，因此常被误当作污染物丢弃。少动鞘氨醇单胞菌是一种新兴病原体，不应被当作污染物丢弃。在此，我们报告一例患有呼吸窘迫的新生儿少动鞘氨醇单胞菌菌血症病例。
