Primary peritonitis caused by Raoultella ornithinolytica in a 53‐year‐old man

摘要

Raoultella ornithinolytica is a Gram‐negative bacillus. This bacillus was until recently often confused with Klebsiella spp. It is known primarily for causing histamine fish poisoning or scombroid syndrome, and rarely causes human infections. This case report discusses a patient who presented with generalized primary peritonitis due to R. ornithinolytica.
