Results of blood culture for patient with Pantoea stewartii subspecies indologenes infection, Queensland, Australia. Yellow pigmented colonies grew on horse blood agar on day 1 of subculture after incubation in 5% CO2 at 35°C. VITEK MS matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (bioMérieux, https://www.biomerieux.com) identified the pathogen as Pantoea ananatis with 99.9% probability, but further analyses revealed that the pathogen was most closely related to P. stewartii subsp. indologenes.
