detected in the right lung visualized on thorax computed
tomography obtained because of the dyspneic complaint of the
patient. Thoracentesis revealed the presence of empyema.
Gemella haemolysans was isolated in three consecutive
pleural fluid culture implemented at determined intervals.
According to antibiotic susceptibility tests this agent was
found to be susceptible to imipenem, and resistant to
amoxicilline/clavulanic acid, ampiciline/sulbactam,
tetracycline, ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin. The
patient receiving imipenem treatment according to
antibiogram results was discharged upon regression of
