Expanding the Spectrum of Uropathogens: A Rare Human Urinary Tract Infection by Rodentibacter pneumotropicus

<i>Pasteurella pneumotropica</i> (now reclassified as <i>Rodentibacter pneumotropicus</i>) is a gram-negative coccobacillus primarily associated with rodents, with human infections being exceedingly rare. We report an unusual case of urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by <i>P. pneumotropica</i> in a 56-year-old man with multiple comorbidities, including chronic kidney disease (CKD), type 2 diabetes mellitus, systemic hypertension, and coronary artery disease (status post pacemaker insertion), who experienced multiple episodes of urinary tract Infection over a period of two years. His latest urine culture revealed growth of <i>Pasteurella pneumotropica</i>, a rare zoonotic gram-negative organism not commonly implicated in human disease. This case contributes to expanding the current understanding of human infections caused by <i>Rodentibacter pneumotropicus</i>, emphasizing the need for clinical awareness, microbiological vigilance, and careful antimicrobial stewardship.
