“…Many strains of Lactobacillus including L. rhamnosus are resistant to vancomycin, with some reports of resistance to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, meropenem, metronidazole, and sulfonamides and intermediate resistance to linezolid [ 5 ]. Previous time-kill assays have demonstrated that synergistic therapy with penicillin and an aminoglycoside was shown to be effective clinically and provided optimal medical treatment [ 6 ].…”

Lactobacilli are commensal anaerobic gram-positive rod organisms that are normal flora of the oral, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal tracts. Lactobacillus rhamnosus is now commonly found in probiotics. They are rarely pathogenic, but occasional cases of bacteremia and associated endocarditis have been noted in patients with pre-disposing factors. We describe a case of Lactobacillus endocarditis in an otherwise healthy patient with probiotic use and gingival laceration and present an accompanying discussion of the potential association of probiotic formulations containing lactobacilli and systemic infection.

Conventionally, Lactobacillus species are considered as low virulence organisms and rarely cause infection in immunocompetent individuals. However, it might be an opportunistic infection source in immunocompromised patients and can cause invasive serious infections. To our knowledge, there are only a handful of cases in the literature reporting primary bloodstream infection caused by Lactobacilli spp. in transplant recipients. Here, we report a case of a kidney transplant recipient with Lactobacillus rhamnosus bacteremia.
