A Rare Case of Raoultella planticola and Enterococcus casseliflavus Coinfection
Raoultella planticola, a Gram-negative bacterium, is a nonmotile rod usually found in soil and aquatic environments. It can be found in association with gastrointestinal malignancy. Enterococcus casseliflavus is a rare vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus that is responsible for some bacteremia. Our ca...

| description | Raoultella planticola, a Gram-negative bacterium, is a nonmotile rod usually found in soil and aquatic environments. It can be found in association with gastrointestinal malignancy. Enterococcus casseliflavus is a rare vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus that is responsible for some bacteremia. Our case describes a unique presentation of colonization with both R. planticola and E. casseliflavus isolated from the biliary stent isolates of a patient with known pancreatic malignancy and concomitant E. casseliflavus bacteremia. This is the first case ever reported of infection with both species. |
