Trueperella bernardiae: an unusual cause of septic thrombophlebitis in an injection drug user

The clinical spectrum of human disease caused by Trueperella bernardiae is poorly described, partly as a result of historical difficulties with microbial identification. With the introduction of powerful new technologies, such as matrix-assisted desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry...
