Article Abstract
(), a strict anaerobic gram-positive rod, is rarely reported in clinical specimens. Since its detection in 1899, it has always been linked to the decay of dead bodies. is considered non-pathogenic to humans, however infrequently it can cause severe infections including bacteremia. The latter was typically associated with gastro-intestinal pathologies. We report the first case of invasive infection at Sultanate Oman. The source was most probably an infected decubitus ulcer.

Weissella confusa is a rare gram-positive, non-spore-forming, catalase-negative, gram-positive coccobacillus, and a pleomorphic gram-positive rod (GPR) often misidentified as Lactobacillus genus. It was first discovered in 1993 and is becoming identified due to the increasing use of DNA sequencing. The true incidence of this species has likely been underestimated and it has been implicated in poly-microbial bacteremia.

Emphysematous osteomyelitis is an uncommon and fatal disease that can only be confirmed with a contrast-enhanced CT scan showing characteristic features of air locules within the bone. It usually occurs in the setting of existing comorbidities and suppressed immune system resulting in widespread bacteremia which may be mono or poly-microbial. Presented here is a case of this disease caused by an unusual anaerobe affecting the pubic bone.

Military Hospital, Shillong, Meghalaya, India.
Purpose: Bile is considered sterile, but in obstructed biliary system, growth of micro-organisms results in bacteraemia and toxaemia. We analysed bacterial profile of patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and evaluated antibiotic resistance patterns to formulate strategy for antibiotics in patients undergoing ERCP.
Materials And Methods: Patients with cholestasis who underwent ERCP were enrolled.
