Leptotrichia goodfellowii (also known as Pseudoleptotrichia goodfellowii) is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming and non-motile anaerobic bacterium from the genus of Leptotrichia which has been isolated from human blood of an endocarditis patient.[1][2][3][4][5] It is associated with infections in the oral cavity and respiratory tract. While primarily associated with opportunistic infections in immunocompromised individuals, its exact pathogenic mechanisms and clinical significance warrant further investigation.
