Ruminococcus gnavus (R. gnavus) is a gram positive anaerobe and a member of the normal intestinal flora of humans. Here, we present a case study of bloodstream infection caused by R. gnavus in an 85 year old man. We identified R. gnavus using target DNA sequencing. The patient was treated with intravenous meropenem and ceftriaxone based on antimicrobial susceptibility tests. He recovered well and was discharged.
