You have not mentioned which organ is infected. Is he admitted in hospital since a few days. It is the most common pathogen isolated from patients who have been hospitalized longer than 1 week. It is a frequent cause of nosocomial infections such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections (utis), and bacteremia.
