Abstract

We have experienced a pediatric case of bacteremia and possible cholecystitis due to Moraxella osloensis, treated successfully. We confirmed the diagnosis with the presence of high-titer antibody to the organism in the patient's serum. And also 16S rRNA sequencing was performed for identification of the bacteria.
