Chryseomonas luteola is a gram-negative microorganism that has rarely been reported as a human bacterial pathogen. Few cases are described in the literature and these mostly involve patients with health or indwelling disorders. Clinical infections in reported cases showed septicaemia, meningitis, peritonitis, endocarditis and ulcer infections. In the present paper, we describe a clinical case with neonatal onset recently observed in our ward and a review of the literature.
