Abstract

Highlights: Bowel tract pathologies appear to facilitate bloodstream infection caused by anaerobic bacteria. Due to their difficult identification, Eubacterium spp. and Butyricimonas spp are probably under-reported human pathogens. Expansion of the MALDI-TOF MS database is mandatory for accurate identification of uncommon bacteria.
