Soft tissue infections due to gram negative microorganism are very rare. Sphingobacterium multivorum related respiratory tract infections, cellulitis, necrotizing fasciitis and septic shock have been reported in literature mostly in immunosuppressed population. We present an interesting and rare case of neck abscess due to sphingobacterium multivorum in an immunocompetent patient, diagnosed by abscess fluid culture and neck imaging and treated with course of oral antibiotics.
