ABSTRACT
Raoultella planticola has been rarely diagnosed in clinical specimens. A case of a polymicrobial surgical site infection primarily caused by R. planticola in a 66-year-old Caucasian male with a fractured left tibia after an open reduction internal fixation of his left ankle is described and confirms this organism to be an opportunistic human pathogen. This pathogen was diagnosed with rapid clinical molecular pathogen diagnostic methods, which allowed an appropriate therapy to be implemented, thereby improving prognosis.
