Abstract：Halomonas sp. is a Gram-negative, halophilic bacillus, present in saline environments. The report about Halomonas sp. infection is rare. Here we reported a case of an infant suffered Halomonas sp. bloodstream infection that hospitalized in the Maternal & Child Health Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The symptoms of this infant were fever, C-reactive protein elevation and following pulmonary inflammation. Because of slow growth rate and limited database scope, this Halomonas sp. could be identified by16S rRNA gene sequencing but not by biochemical methods or MALDI-TOF MS. This study might help clinical diagnosis and treatment of Halomonas sp. infections.
