Abstract

Here we describe a case of Clostridia glycolicum (C. glycolicum) bacteremia in a bed-ridden elderly man with chronic illnesses. The bacterium was identified by the Remel RapID ANA II System. We believe that this is the fifth published report of human illness caused by this bacterium. In the four previously reported cases, C. glycolicum was found in cultures with other bacteria. This is the first reported case in which C. glycolicum was the sole causative agent of disease.
