Abstract Carnobacterium is a genus of gram-positive bacilli belonging to the family Lactobacillaceae. Generally, Carnobacterium species are considered nonpathogenic to humans and are mostly found in the natural environment, food, and food packaging. Furthermore, some Carnobacterium species play a bioprotective role in the food industry. Isolation of Carnobacterium from human blood or other sites, such as skin or abscess, has rarely been reported—there are only four published case reports worldwide, and none of them is from Korea. In all the

Abstract Background: Blood culture is an important procedure for the determination of the etiologic agent of septicemia. Analysis of the blood culture results can provide clinicians with very important information for the empirical treatment of patients. Methods: In this study the blood cuture results at Chosun University Hospital during the years 2002 to 2005 were analysed to determine the species and antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates. Blood culture bottles were incubated in BACTEC 9240 blood culture system; the isolates were identified by
