Little is known about A. woluwensis infection and it is commonly mis-identified by culturing with commercial kits. To date, only six cases of bacteremia caused by A. woluwensis have been reported in the literature. Herein, we report a case of Arthrobacter woluwensis bacteremia in an immunocompromised host. In this case report, the results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed that this clinical isolate of A. woluwensis is sensitive to vancomycin, teicoplanin, but resistant to penicillin, cephalosporin and ciprofloxacin. Additionally, whole genome sequencing analysis identified common subunits of the urease system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens10040443","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,8]],"date-time":"2021-04-08T21:27:44Z","timestamp":1617917264000},"page":"443","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Arthrobacter woluwensis Bacteremia: A Clinical and Genomic Report"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Shu-Yuan","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taichung 40705, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chin-Chuan","family":"Kao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Infectious Disease, Department of Internal Medicine, Tungs\u2019 Taichung Metroharbor Hospital, Taichung 433402, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu-Cheng","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taichung 40705, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chung-Hsu","family":"Lai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, E-Da Hospital, Kaohsiung 840, Taiwan"},{"name":"School of Medicine, College of Medicine, I-Shou University, Kaohsiung 840, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yi-Ping","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, National Chung Cheng University, Chiayi 62102, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8561-0582","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yan-Chiao","family":"Mao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Clinical Toxicology, Department of Emergency Medicine, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taichung 40705, Taiwan"},{"name":"School of Medicine, National Defense Medical Center, Taipei 11490, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9253-2394","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yao-Ting","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, E-Da Hospital, Kaohsiung 840, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8006-4917","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Po-Yu","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Infectious Disease, Department of Internal Medicine, Tungs\u2019 Taichung Metroharbor Hospital, Taichung 433402, Taiwan"},{"name":"Rong Hsing Research Center for Translational Medicine, National Chung Hsing University, Taichung 402, Taiwan"},{"name":"Ph.D. Program in Translational Medicine, National Chung Hsing University, Taichung 402, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2356","DOI":"10.1128\/jcm.34.10.2356-2363.1996","article-title":"Isolation of Arthrobacter spp. from clinical specimens and description of Arthrobacter cumminsii sp. nov. and Arthrobacter woluwensis sp. nov","volume":"34","author":"Funke","year":"1996","journal-title":"J.
