| Abstrakt: | Oligella is a commensal bacteria genus of the human urinary tract that rarely precipitates clinical infections. We report the case of an asymptomatic 24-year-old male with a medical history of Tourette syndrome and the recent placement of deep brain stimulator leads, which were found to be co-infected with Oligella species during hardware implantation. This is the first reported case of a deep brain stimulator infection by Oligella , a potentially under-recognized and emerging opportunistic bacteria. We review the previously published cases of extra-genitourinary Oligella infections and detail the clinical management of this uncommon pathogen.
