Raoultella ornithinolytica (formerly Klebsiella ornithinolytica) is a gram-negative aerobic bacillus in the family Enterobacteriaceae. This species has been related to histamine-producing bacteria causing subsequent fish poisoning (5). R. ornithinolytica has also been isolated from dentin of infected root canals (8). However, human infections caused by bacteria of the genus Raoultella are infrequent, and spontaneously occurring bacteremia cases have not been reported. Here, we present a case of enteric fever-like syndrome and bacteremia caused by R. ornithinolytica.
