The article details the identification of Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica bacteria in a blood sample from an 82-year-old female patient with myiasis in Surrey, England. Topics covered include the patients' medical history, the results of blood analysis, her treatment, the removal of superficial maggots of common green bottle fly Lucilia sericata from her ears, and the use of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry to identify the bacteria.
