abstract={<i>Raoultella planticola </i>is a gram-negative aerobic bacillus commonly found in water, plant and soil. Few cases have been reported of this organism affecting humans. We present the case of 68-year-old woman with a five-day history of inability to move right hand. Physical examination revealed an erythematous fluctuant swelling which was incised and drained. Drainage specimen was cultured and grew <i>Raoultella</i> <i>planticola</i> susceptible to augmented penicillin¡¯s. Patient achieved significant clinical improvement following treatment with ampicillin-sublactam. Clinicians should be aware of this emerging pathogen as a cause of soft tissue infection in humans.},
