مستخلص: Sarcina ventriculi, also known as Zymosarcina ventriculi and, incorrectly, as Clostridium ventriculi, is rarely encountered in clinical settings. A patient with a complicated gastrointestinal (GI) history, who was acutely presenting with small-bowel obstruction, was found to be colonized by S. ventriculi. The distinctive morphology of this species, with large Gram-variable cocci (up to 3 µm) arranged in two-by-two cuboid clusters reaching up to 20 µm, was key in identifying this bacterium in a stomach biopsy specimen. Sarcina ventriculi appears to be ubiquitously found in nature, and related bacterial species can cause GI-related disease in various animals. Clinical manifestations in humans are broad and often related to other underlying comorbidities. Isolation of S. ventriculi in the laboratory requires anaerobic culture on select media but its absence from standard MALDI-TOF databases complicates identification. Susceptibility data do not exist, so empiric treatment is the only option for this rare pathogen.
