Kaley Tash*

Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, and Florida Infectious Disease Institute, P.O. Box 1289, Tampa, Florida 33601

Received 20 August 2004/ Returned for modification 28 September 2004/ Accepted 20 December 2004

A 76-year-old male with prostatic hyperplasia presented with acute pyelonephritis. Blood cultures yielded Rahnella aquatilis. Treatment with intravenous followed by oral levofloxacin resulted in cure. Important characteristics of this organism include its biochemical similarities to Enterobacter agglomerans, its apparent ability to cause bacteremia from a renal focus, and its response to quinolone therapy.
