Abstract
Whole-genome sequencing of a bacterial isolate from a throat swab of a 20-year-old woman in Vietnam with pneumonia-like symptoms identified Herbaspirillum huttiense, a bacterium rarely associated with human infections. The isolated strain harbored genes resistant to various antibiotic
classes. This case highlights the potential for H. huttiense to cause human illness and the emergence of multi-drug resistance in this organism. Further research is needed to determine the role of H. huttiense in respiratory infections.
