Abstract
Lactococcus garvieae is a Gram-positive coccus [GPC] that has morphological and biochemical similarities to enterococci. L.garvieae strains are rare human pathogens, with only a few cases reported in the literature, mainly as a cause of infective endocarditis but a well-known pathogen in aquaculture. It is well known as a fish pathogen, and in some of the reported cases, the patients had history of contact with raw fish. We report a case of L. garvieae urosepsis in a patient with no history of contact with raw fish.
