Key Points

To review published clinical reports of Globicatella sanguinis infections in order to characterize clinical manifestations, diagnostic hurdles, and therapeutic strategies.
Narrative review of 21 published case reports representing 51 patients infected with Globicatella sanguinis.
Assessed underlying patient risk factors, including immunosuppression and invasive procedures, alongside diagnostic and treatment approaches.
Globicatella sanguinis primarily causes severe systemic infections, including urinary tract infections, meningitis, and endocarditis, predominantly in vulnerable and immunocompromised hosts.
Atypical biochemical properties lead to frequent misidentification by routine microbiological systems, underscoring the necessity of molecular diagnostic assays and tailored antimicrobial regimens.

Implication

Narrative review reveals severe infections and frequent misidentification of Globicatella sanguinis in vulnerable populations, highlighting the need for molecular diagnostics.
