Fatal septicemia due to an unidentified gram-negative rod developed in a 60-year-old alcoholic. Infection due to this organism has been reported only rarely in the medical literature. Like Pasturella multocida, this organism is related to dog bites, is gram negative, and is sensitive to penicillin.
