Sphingomonas paucimobilis, Gram negative, PathogenAbstract
Sphingomonas paucimobilis is a gram negative bacterium usually an opportunistic pathogen. It is known to cause infections among immunocompromised individuals. Rarely it causes infections among immunocompetent individuals. We report a case of sphingomonas paucimobilis sepsis in a ten year old male child.
