    Author: Kofteridis DP, Maraki S, Scoulica E, Tsioutis C, Maltezakis G, Gikas A.
    Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 2007 Dec; 59(4):459-62. PubMed ID: 17928185.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case of Streptomyces lanatus pneumonia in an immunocompetent 52-year-old woman. Bronchoalveolar lavage culture grew Streptomyces, which was identified by 16S rRNA sequencing. The infection resolved completely after successful treatment with doxycycline for 6 months. We also review the literature on human invasive Streptomyces infections.
