View through CrossRef
Eggerthella lenta is an anaerobic, non-spore-forming, nonmotile, gram-positive bacillus commensal in human intestine. It causes genitourinary tract infection, abscess, and wound infection but can lead to disseminated life-threatening septicemia. Risk factors to develop infection secondary to E. Lenta are immunocompromised and elderly patients with pre-existing co-morbidities such as cancer and diabetes mellitus.
