J Clin Microbiol. 1987 Mar;25(3):522-5. doi: 10.1128/jcm.25.3.522-525.1987.

Abstract

A member of the genus Simonsiella, presumptively identified as S. muelleri, was isolated from a gastric aspirate taken from a neonate 15 min postpartum. The neonate showed a dental cyst and early eruption of teeth, confirmed by mandibular X ray. The morphological features, cultural characteristics, and antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolate are presented.
