Aeromonas dhakensis - A red alert in blood cultures!

Although Aeromonas dhakensis has recently been reported as an important human pathogen, it is still less frequently identified in comparison to Aeromonas hydrophila or Aeromonas caviae, due to the problem of identification in certain automated systems. This case report provides an impetus to identify and report this organism as soon as possible. Further studies on this organism's virulence and pathogenic mechanism, especially in healthcare settings, are warranted.
