Abstract

Veillonella atypica is an anaerobic Gram-negative coccus, a common commensal of the human oral, vaginal and intestinal microbiota, which rarely causes infections in the human host. To date, only two cases of bacteraemia caused by this germ have been reported in the literature. We present the case of a 50-year-old male patient with liver cirrhosis who developed V. atypica bacteraemia in the context of acute diverticulitis complicated by an enterovesical fistula.
