Abstract

Sphingobacterium multivorum is a gram-negative rod found in the environment and rarely associated with human infections. Sphingobacterium is the causative agent of infections in an immunocompromised host in most cases. We report a rare case of cellulitis in an immunocompromised host by Sphingobacterium multivorum.

Keywords: Sphingobacterium; Sphingobacterium multivorum; immunocompromised; multiple myeloma.
