<i>Mycetohabitans rhizoxinica</i> bacteremia in the setting of invasive fungal disease in an immunocompromised patient
This case highlights the association of <i>M. rhizoxinica</i> with <i>Rhizopus</i> spp., wherein the isolation of <i>M. rhizoxinica</i> led to a high index of suspicion of <i>Rhizopus</i> infection in an immunocompromised patient who developed bacteremia with a slow-growing, oxidase positive, gram-negative bacteria not able to be identified by traditional identification methods.
