Pseudomonas putrefaciens and group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus septicemia.
Pseudomonas putrefaciens was isolated twice in blood cultures from which group A beta-hemolytic streptococci were concurrently isolated from a moribund woman. Only once previously has P putrefaciens bacteremia been reported. To our knowledge, we are reporting the first blood isolate of P putrefaciens, albeit with group A beta-hemolytic streptococci, associated with fatal septicemia.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae septicemia.
We report the first known case of septicemia caused by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It occurred nosocomially in a hyperalimented burned man. It is a rare example of disease caused by S cerevisiae, which, like many saprophytes, can become pathogenic in the debilitated. The case is remarkable for its apparent origin in a bleeding esophageal lesion, for its clinical characteristics, including profound neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, hypothermia, and monocytopenia, and for its cure by amphotericin B.

Clostridium pseudotetanicum bacteremia in a patient with Pasteurella multocida conjunctivitis.
Clostridium pseudotetanicum only once previously has been identified as causing disease. Pasteurella multocida has been identified only three times as the cause of purulent conjunctivitis. A very debilitated patient had C. pseudotetanicum bacteremia and P. multocida conjunctivitis from which she recovered only to die of a nosocomial Staphylococcus epidermidis septicemia, originating in a site for the administration of intravenous fluids.
