Fulltext PDF1.1. Background: The Janibacter genus is a Gram-positive, coryneform bacteria that belong to the Actinobacteria phylum. Bacteria from this group have been associated with bacteremia in immuno-compromised children. In the literature, there are few reported cases of infection, and data is lacking about this species, especially for J. indicus. Here, we present the first documented case of Janibacter indicus bacteremia in an immunocompetent pediatric patient. This case report aims to provide support for the management of this rare infection and to share our experience for future studies and management. Also, it highlights the importance of advanced microbiological methods for timely diagnosis and management. Further research is needed to define therapeutic approaches and susceptibility patterns better.
