title: Lactobacillus pneumonia in a patient with oesophageal carcinoma.
abstract: We report a case of necrotizing pneumonia caused by Lactobacillus secondary to a tracheo-oesophageal fistula created by an oesophageal carcinoma. We emphasize the presence of resistance of Lactobacillus to clindamycin and cotrimoxazole, previously reported to be effective.
