Abstract
Raoultella planticola has been considered a relatively harmless Gram-negative
bacteria, rarely associated with clinical infection. However, in recent years, the
frequency at which severe infection by R. planticola and drug-resistant strains
are reported in literature has increased. Here, we present one case of acute
cholecystitis caused by R. planticola, and review all previously reported cases
of the infection in an attempt to identify new trends in biological and clinical features of
R. planticola infections.
