We report the first case of bacteremia caused by Veillonella atypica in a morbid elderly female patient who developed obstructive pyelonephritis. She was treated with ceftriaxone and ureteral stenting; this is the first report of V. atypica infection in humans. Species identification was performed by multiplex PCR and sequencing of rpoB. The strain was susceptible to metronidazole and clindamycin but resistant to benzylpenicillin, ampicillin, ampicillin/sulbactam, and moxifloxacin. Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
