Leclercia adecarboxylata is a Gram-negative bacillus commonly seen in immunocompromised individuals and often misdiagnosed as Escherichia coli. L. adecarboxylata is an opportunistic pathogen found in aquatic environments. It is a nonfatal infection that has low virulence and endorses susceptibility to many common antibiotics. We report a case of a 53-year-old immunocompromised male who was managed for L. adecarboxylata bacteremia.
