Sphingomonas are ubiquitous bacteria, widely distributed in the nature, soil and water including the water sources in the hospital environment, contains at least more than 30 species, which of only paucimobilis is an occasional pathogen.1 It is one of the non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli that is emerging as an opportunistic pathogen [7]. S.paucimobilis is considered to be the organism of low virulence likely owing to absence of endotoxin and typical polysaccharide and thus responsible for less mortality and morbidity but sometimes can lead to septic shock. To support this, retrospective study conducted at our hospital on total 1580 inpatient (IP) blood samples for culture yielding positivity of 0.44% for the growth of S.paucimobilis, did favour the survival of the all the patients. All the blood isolates produced distinct white or off-white coloured colonies on blood and chocolate agar hence referred as “Bleached Sphingomonas paucimobilis.”
