Inquilinus limosus Bacteremia in Lung Transplant Recipient after SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Abstract: Inquilinus limosus is an environmental bacterium associated with respiratory tract colonization in cystic fibrosis patients. We report a case of I. limosus bacteremia in a patient in France who received a lung transplant and experienced chronic graft dysfunction and SARS-CoV-2 infection. This case suggests I. limosus displays virulence factors associated with invasion.

“…The authors did not report whether I. limosus was isolated from the patient between the two infections and after the second one. The last patient, a 45-year-old LTR woman eight years ago, presented an I. limosus bacteraemia after a SARS-CoV-2 infection [ 10 ]. I. limosus was isolated from three consecutive respiratory samples and from an aerobic blood culture vial.…”
