Maggot-associated <i>Ignatzschineria larvae</i> bacteremia: a case report
This case underscores the role of collaboration between clinical microbiology laboratories and clinicians in diagnosing and managing uncommon infections. The identification of <i>I. larvae</i> was obtained through 16S rRNA sequencing, highlighting how sequencing-based approaches are becoming increasingly implemented as diagnostic tools when traditional methods fail in identifying rare microorganisms.
