Abstract

Turicibacter sanguinis was isolated in 2002 from the blood of a patient with appendicitis. We report a bacteremia with T. sanguinis and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans in a patient with ulcerative colitis. T. sanguinis grew in thioglycolate media and identification was confirmed with 16S rRNA sequencing.
