Abstract

Raoultella planticola is a gram-negative, aerobic, nonmotile bacteria that can be found in soil and water. This is a relatively rare organism with few case reports on it and only three reports of R. planticola-induced urinary tract infection (UTI) have been reported. Here we present a case of acute cystitis caused by R. planticola in a woman with atrial fibrillation and recurrent UTIs.

Keywords: acute cystitis; histamine; klebsiella; raoultella planticola; uti.
