Community acquired Roseomonas infection in a pre-existing Tubercular lung lesion

Abstract

Roseomonas are nonfermenting opportunistic Gram-negative bacilli belonging to the newly established genus of Roseomonas. The clinical experience with the species is limited and is difficult to diagnose because of limited expertise and lack of commercially available identification kits with any of the automated systems. This is a first ever reported case of secondary bacterial infection due to Roseomonas genomospecies 6 in a patient of pulmonary tuberculosis from the Indian subcontinent.
