Abstract

Clinical infections by Bifidobacterium species rarely developed. We report two cases of bacteremic pneumonia caused by B. pseudocatenulatum and B. dentium, respectively, in patients vulnerable to aspiration. These cases suggested the potential for cause of serious pneumonia caused by Bifidobacterium species, in patients with high risk of aspiration.
