A Rare Case of Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides Bacteremia and Refractory Septic Shock.

species are rare causes of bacteremia and are commonly mistaken for species. Due to their inherent resistance to commonly used drugs, they are often overlooked resulting in poor and sometimes lethal outcomes. While there are not many reported cases of this bacterial infection, species are important to consider when faced with a highly drug-resistant bacterial strain.
