Abstract

Abstract Rat bite fever (RBF) is predominantly caused by Streptobacillus moniliformis. We report a human infection with Streptobacillus felis. Clinical presentation was consistent with RBF, but serologic testing was negative for S moniliformis. Eventually, S felis–specific sequences were detected in skin lesions of the patient and in the oropharynx of local cats.
