Culture of cheese and dry-cured ham on blood agar medium from investigation of patient with Leuconostoc lactis and Staphylococcus nepalensis bacteremia, Japan. The colonies, cultured from cheese, were identified as L. lactis by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry mass spectrometry; however, the colonies derived from dry-cured ham were identified as S. equorum and S. xylosus but not as S. nepalensis.
