R78. 81 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Bacteremia is the presence of bacteria in the blood, hence a microbiological finding. Sepsis is a clinical diagnosis needing further specification regarding focus of infection and etiologic pathogen, whereupon clinicians, epidemiologists and microbiologists apply different definitions and terminology.
To identify patients with possible Gram-negative bacteremia in the NPR, we used diagnoses of “septicemia/sepsis due to other Gram-negative organisms” (ICD-10 code A41. 5).
A69. 1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM A69. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021.

ICD-10 code: A49. 9 Bacterial infection, unspecified.
Streptococci are gram-positive cocci that grow in pairs or chains. Most pathogenic streptococci are facultative anaerobes. Many species of streptococci constitute the normal flora of the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tracts.
Gram-positive cocci are the most common cause of bloodstream infections in hemodialysis patients, with Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci causing most infections.
Enterobacter species are members of the ESKAPE group (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species), which are described as the leading cause of resistant nosocomial infections (7, 10, 11, 13,–20).
These antibiotics include: herbicolin, pantocins, phenazine and others. In addition, Pantoea agglomerans products may act as a preservative, have bioremediation properties, and be able to fight against harmful pathogens in plants. A Japanese researcher was able to isolate IP-PA1 in Pantoea agglomerans and found that the lipopolysaccharide has a low molecular mass giving it unique properties. This bacterium was also found to use macrophage activity to regulate homeostasis, giving Pantoea agglomerans healing properties. These properties include: "tumours, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes, ulcer, various infectious diseases, atopic allergy and stress-induced immunosuppression".
Pantoea agglomerans is found in the gut of locusts. The locusts have adapted to use the guaiacol produced by Pantoea agglomerans to initiate the synchronized swarming of locusts. It is also commonly found as a symbiont in the gut ...
After coming in contact with Erwinia amylovora, Pantoea agglomerans produces antibiotic properties that are toxic to ...
Pantoea agglomerans is occasionally reported to be an opportunistic pathogen in immun ocompromised patients, causing wound, blood, and urinary-tract infections. Infections are typically acquired from infected vegetation parts penetrating the skin. Contaminated intravenous fluids or blood products are only rarely the causal agent. Bloodstream infection can lead to disseminated disease and end-organ infection, mainly septic arthritis, but also endophthalmitis, periostitis, endocarditis and osteomyelitis in humans.
Levan produced by Pantoea agglomerans ZMR7 was reported to decrease the viability of rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) and breast cancer (MDA) cells compared with untreated cancer cells. In addition, it has high antiparasitic activity against the promastigote of Leishmania tropica.
Pantoea agglomerans is a Gram-negative bacterium that belongs to the family Erwiniaceae . It was formerly called Enterobacter agglomerans, or Erwinia herbicola and is an ubiquitous bacterium commonly isolated from plant surfaces, seeds, fruit, and animal or human feces and can be found throughout a honeybee's environment.
