J Clin Microbiol. 2000 Jan;38(1):456-7. doi: 10.1128/JCM.38.1.456-457.2000.

Abstract

Roseomonas is a newly described genus of pink-pigmented, nonfermentative, gram-negative bacteria that have been recognized as a cause of human infections. Roseomonas fauriae is a species rarely isolated from clinical specimens. We report the first known case of peritonitis caused by R. fauriae in a patient receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
