The capacity of this pathogen to produce a granulomatous inflammatory reaction in human tissues is discussed. The isolate was sensitive to chloramphenicol, gentamicin, carbenicillin and colistin in in-vitro tests and the infection responded promptly to treatment with chloramphenicol. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/00222615-18-3-433
