Popis: Oligella urethralis and Trueperella bernardiae are rare causes of bacteremia. A 96-year-old female nursing home resident with diabetes presented with polymicrobial bloodstream infection comprising these organisms and obstructive urinary tract infection. O. urethralis identified from blood cultures was resistant to fluoroquinolones and non-fourth-generation cephalosporins. Cases must be accumulated to define the clinical features of these organisms for infection control.
