We describe the case of a 55-year-old Omani man with fulminant sepsis who worked in Laos, Cambodia. was isolated from the patient's blood and was identified by means of microbiological and biochemical tests. We highlight the importance of careful attention to non-fermentative gram-negative rods in a septic patients who have worked or travelled to Southeast Asia.
