Abstract
Flavimonas oryzihabitans is a Gram-negative rod that has rarely been implic ated in human infections. The involvement of this organism has been documen ted in serious infections, the majority of which were cases of bacteraemia or peritonitis. We report the first isolation of the organism in Greece, fr om a case of bacteraemia, associated with haemorrhagic papular rash, in a p aediatric patient and describe the phenotypic characteristics of the strain .
