Background  Primary foci of necrobacillosis infection outside the head and neck are uncommon but have been reported in the urogenital or gastrointestinal tracts. Reports of infection with  Solobacterium moorei  are rare.    Case presentation  A 37-year-old male intravenous drug user was admitted with pain in his right groin, fever, rigors and vomiting following a recent injection into the right femoral vein. Admission blood cultures grew  Fusobacterium nucleatum, Solobacterium moorei  and  Bacteroides ureolyticus . The patient was successfully treated with intravenous penicillin and metronidazole.    Conclusion  This case report describes an unusual case of femoral thrombophlebitis with septic pulmonary embolism associated with anaerobic organisms in a groin abscess.  Solobacterium moorei , though rarely described, may also have clinically significant pathogenic potential.
