Abstract

A 30-year-old female with a medical history of gastrointestinal reflux and intravenous methamphetamine use was admitted to the hospital with complaints of fever and chills. Pantoae agglomerans was isolated in one out of two blood cultures. Although information was limited about the duration and efficacy of oral antibiotics to treat this type of infection, the patient recovered with oral antibiotic treatment following a short course of intravenous antibiotics.
