Abstract

Background: Pseudomonas otitidis is a novel species of Pseudomonas bacteria that has been isolated from patients with otic infections. Case presentation: In this report, we describe a case of a 59-year-old known with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with bronchiectasis and recurrent pneumonia where blood cultures revealed the growth of P. otitidis. Conclusions: This case describes the first report of bacteraemia to P. otitidis and raises questions regarding the misdiagnosis and underestimation of the incidence of infections caused by this novel pathogen.
