Sphingomonas paucimobilis is a yellow-pigmented, aerobic, glucose nonfermenting, Gram-negative bacillus, causing a rare human infection normally associated with immunocompromised host. A 47-year-old male, known diabetic and hypertensive on treatment, with a history of trauma, underwent surgical intervention and developed fever postoperatively. A positive growth was detected on BACT/ALERT 3D. Blood culture smear shows Gram-negative bacilli which was identified as S. paucimobilis.
