AB  - This case report includes a brief review of Raoultella planticola infections in the literature and describes a case of a mildly immunocompromised patient who presents with signs and symptoms of urinary tract infection. Three days after hospitalization, the patient’s urine sample had a culture speciation of Raoultella planticola. The infection was found to be resistant only to ampicillin and the patient was subsequently started on amoxicillin/clavulanate upon discharge. Largely thought to be nonpathogenic, R. planticola infection is now believed to be opportunistic and a discussion of risk factors in this patient is reviewed.
