title: A rare case ofRaoultella planticolaurinary tract infection in an immunocompromised patient with multiple myeloma.
abstract: Raoultella planticolais a gram-negative rod associated with soil and aquatic environments that has rarely been associated with human infections.
  
  
  
  We present the case of a 73 year old female with multiple myeloma and recurrentClostridium difficileinfection who was found to have a urinary tract infection withRaoultella planticola, which has only been reported to cause 29 cases of human infections and 2 cases of urinary tract infections.
  
  
  
  Our case and literature review suggest that immunocompromised patients are predisposed to developingRaoultella planticolainfection, and that this is a potential emerging pathogen.
