The number of reported cases of bacteremia due to Rothia mucilaginosa (R. mucilaginosa), a component of the normal flora of human gastrointestinal tract mucosa, is limited. We encountered three cases of bacteremia due to R. mucilaginosa during neutropenia after chemotherapy for myeloid malignancies.
Rothia mucilaginosa is a gram-positive coccus of the family Micrococcaceae. R. mucilaginosa is considered a part of the normal flora of the human oropharynx and upper respiratory tract and lower respiratory tract infections attributable to R. mucilaginosa are not frequent. We present a case of

RESULTS
We report on a six-yr-old boy who underwent renal transplantation for polycystic kidney disease at the age of eight months. He developed post-transplant
Rothia spp. (previously termed Stomatococcus) are normal flora that can cause invasive infections in immunocompromised hosts. The objective of this study was to describe infection characteristics and outcomes of Rothia spp. infections in a large cohort of children with newly diagnosed acute myeloid
Infections with rare pathogens are being recognized with increasing frequency in severely immunocompromised patients. As a result of these patients' underlying compromised defenses and susceptibility to atypical organisms, tissue biopsies from patients within this population may demonstrate
