title: Post-cesarean surgical site infection due to Buttiauxella agrestis.
abstract: Surgical site infections (SSI) are postoperative complications that constitute a major public health problem. We present a rare case report of infection by Buttiauxella agrestis, a member of the Enterobacteriaceae family, occurring after a cesarean delivery in a young woman with no comorbidities. The authors further discuss the origin of this infection.
