case_images: Gram-positive bacilli within 48 h which were isolated in pure culture and identified as  B. clausii  by a matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF; bioMerieux) assay (Fig. 1). Growth was observed 11 days after initiation of the probiotic containing spores of  B. clausii .
