Herbaspirillum spp. are Gram-negative bacteria that inhabit soil and water. Infections caused by these organisms have been reported in immunocompromised hosts. We describe severe community-acquired pneumonia and bacteremia caused byHerbaspirillum aquaticum orH. huttiense in an immunocompetent adult male.
