Septic Abortion Secondary to Peptoniphilus asaccharolyticus Complicated by Bacteremia: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Peptoniphilus species are gram-positive anaerobic coccus (GPAC) that are found in the human flora, such as the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and genitourinary tract, and can be pathogenic. Septic abortion caused by Peptoniphilus species has been reported only three times in the literature. Here, we present a case of Peptoniphilus asaccharolyticus (P. asaccharolyticus) bacteremia as a complication of septic abortion.
