Introduction:Bacterial bloodstream infections (BSI) account for approximately 20 – 30% of all febrile neutropenic episodes in adults with malignancy. (1) There has been a shift in aetiology of BSI from Gram-positive to Gram-negative organisms depending on the geographic area. (2) In cancer patients, the Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheter Related Bloodstream Infection (PICCR-BSI) incidence rate is 2.6 per 1000 catheter days, 78% of which are mainly caused by Gram-negative bacteria and 43% are caused by Gram-positive bacteria. (3) Raoultella planticola (R. planticola) is a gram-negative, aerobic, nonmotile bacterium that can be found in soil and water. Urine, faeces, and sputum of 9 – 18% of humans have R. planticola colonization. Although both immunocompetent and immunocompromised persons can develop R. planticola bacteraemia, 82.4% of patients are immunocompromised. (4) There have been multiple case reports of urinary tract infections and a few reports of bacteraemia with R planticola as the cause.
