Moellerella wisconsensis, a Review and Case Study on Rarely Isolated Organism from Clinical and Nonclinical Specimens | Chapter 12 | Recent Progress in Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol.1

 Isolation and reporting of rarely found and opportunistic pathogens in the gastro-intestinal tract is not

observed in medical fraternity because of many reasons. Primarily, it could be because of abundant
presence of normal flora, hence the presence of rare organisms might be out looked in routine
practice. Secondarily, it could be due to the limited knowledge and resources to isolate and report
such findings in daily busy practice. Lastly, it could be because of its non-frequent occurrence.
Nonetheless, cases of isolating the organism
Moellerella wisconsensis have been reported since its
first report published in 1984, by Hickman Brenner. The chapter discusses the history and reports
Moellerella wisconsensis from a stool sample for the first time in the western region of India
(Ahmedabad, Gujarat) along with other reported incidences from various clinical and non-clinical
sources [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8].
