Abstract
We present a case of urinary tract infection caused by Enterobacter taylorae in a 70-year-old male with renal lithiasis. The microorganism was isolated in significant numbers from a urine culture. The disappearance of clinical symptoms after antibiotic treatment points to the participation of this microorganism as the etiological agent in the infection.
