    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Clinical Bacteriology

    Background:

    • Veillonella parvula and Veillonella alcalescens are anaerobic, Gram-negative cocci.
    • Typically considered commensal in clinical specimens.
    • Can occasionally cause infections requiring antibiotic treatment.

    Observation:

    • A case of Veillonella infection is presented.
    • Highlights the pathogenic potential of these normally commensal organisms.
    • Discusses the clinical significance of Veillonella in infections.

    Findings:

    • Limited clinical data and in vitro studies guide antibiotic selection.
    • Penicillin G is identified as the primary drug of choice.
    • Cephalosporins, clindamycin, chloramphenicol, and metronidazole are potential alternatives.
