Abstract
Raoultella ornitholytica, an environmental organism, has only recently been reported as a cause of infections in humans, and is associated mainly with bacteraemia in elderly patients. Carbapenem resistance is unusual in Raoultella spp. We describe the first paediatric case of blaNDM-1 Raoultella ornitholytica bacteraemia in a preterm neonate that developed three days after hospitalisation. This case report discusses a rare organism that had an unexpected susceptibility profile and caused bacteraemia in a neonate. Treatment options are explored.
