A lung biopsy sent for 16S rRNA analysis and sputum cultured about the same time demonstrated Raoultella ornithinolytica . No other causative pathogens were clearly identified. He gradually improved with a 4 week course of intravenous cefazolin. R. ornithinolytica is a rare, but recognised pathogen. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/acmi/10.1099/acmi.0.000365
