Gardnerella vaginalis
is an anaerobic gram variable organism, which commonly causes
bacterial vaginosis
in women. It is uncommon for this organism to cause a urinary tract infection in males. We present a case of
G. vaginalis
bacteremia in the setting of
urolithiasis
in an otherwise immunocompetent elderly male. He was treated with metronidazole alone for a 10-day course with resolution of symptoms and negative repeat blood cultures. It is important for health care professionals to acknowledge this rare cause of infection in males and adequately treat to prevent increased morbidity and mortality.
