The infection&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div&amp;gt;requires specific treatment based on antibiogram, but as no data from India is known ,our case highlights the need of&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div&amp;gt;further studies of this uncommon organism in relation to invasive diseases &amp;amp;amp; its antibiotic susceptibility&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;</p>
