Abstract
Enterococcus infections are common, but infections caused by Enterococcus hirae is rare as it is commonly found in mammals and birds. We describe a case of Enterococcus bacteremia occurring with urinary tract infection associated with chronic liver disease, cholelithiasis and acute kidney injury which was treated with antibiotic therapy and other supportive management. This rare zoonotic disease is emerging to be life-threatening in especially immunocompromised individuals. Thus clinicians should be informed of this little recognized pathogen and help in reducing mortality especially in immunocompromised individuals.
