Abstract
Anaerobic bacteraemia is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients worldwide. Early identification of these microorganisms from blood culture is pivotal in diagnosing and can improve treatment and outcomes. We present a case of anaerobic bacteraemia in a patient with diabetic foot ulcer, which was detected rapidly by the Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) from a positive blood culture bottle in a laboratory setting with minimal facilities for anaerobic culture methods.
