  • Title: Ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by Dolosigranulum pigrum.
    Author: Hoedemaekers A, Schülin T, Tonk B, Melchers WJ, Sturm PD.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2006 Sep; 44(9):3461-2. PubMed ID: 16954302.
    Abstract:
    Dolosigranulum pigrum is an unusual gram-positive catalase-negative coccus. It was isolated, only after prolonged incubation, from bronchial secretions from a patient with ventilator-associated pneumonia. The patient responded well to antimicrobial therapy. Identification was done by 16S rRNA DNA sequence analysis, but it can be done with relatively simple phenotypic tests.
