Abstract
Abstract High sphingophospholipids in the cell membrane characterize the genus Sphingobacterium. Sphingobacterium spiritivorum is a gram-negative, non–spore-forming, nonmotile bacterium that is ubiquitous in nature and rarely involved in human disease. It is intrinsically resistant to many antimicrobials, which if underrecognized can be potentially life-threatening. We present a case of a 72-year-old white man who presented with cellulitis and sepsis secondary to S. spiritivorum.
