case_images: Isolation and identification of P. anthophila. (A) Gram stain of positive blood cultures showed Gram-negative bacteria; (B) Yellow, smooth colonies on Columbia blood agar after being cultured at 37 C, 5% CO2 for 24 h; (C) The spectrogram with protein molecular mass of the strain acquired by MALDI-TOF MS; (D) Spectra comparison of the strain with that of known strains in a database matched to P. anthophila DSM 23080T with a high confidence level.

case_images: All four blood cultures grew a Gram-negative bacterium (Figure 1A) and showed yellow, smooth colonies (Figure 1B), which were confirmed as P. anthophila by MALDI-TOF MS (Figure 1C and D) and 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
