We present the first report, to our knowledge, of a renal abscess cause by an infection from G ordonia terrae in a kidney transplant patient. The patient simultaneously had pulmonary tuberculosis and a perirenal allograft abscess caused by G . terrae . After treatment with imipenem, in addition to anti‐tuberculous drugs, the patient was cured.
