Abstract

We report the case of a nosocomial infection due to Enterococcus cecorum isolated from a blood culture of a 75-year-old septic male patient. Matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and Vitek 2 succeeded in identification of the isolate.

Keywords: Enterococcus cecorum; MALDI-TOF; Vitek 2; mass spectrometry; nosocomial infection
