Abstract

Multiple isolations of T. Cutaneum from the blood stream of two patients enabled the authors to characterize the morphology, biochemical reactions and antibiotic susceptibility of T. Cutaneum. This organism appears to be an opportunistic pathogen and responds promptly to intravenous Amphotericin B or oral 5-Fluorocytosine.
