Liver transplant recipients are immunocompromised by the virtue of being on immunosuppressive agents which put them at risk of having infections from unusual and even multiple concomitant pathogens. We present a case of a 39-year-old man who developed septicaemia with Enterococcus casseliflavus, Streptococcus equinus and Klebsiella oxytoca in the setting of perinephric haematoma which resulted following a kidney biopsy performed to evaluate his nephrotic range proteinuria. E. casseliflavus has been known to cause infections in patients with liver disease/cirrhosis; however, simultaneous infection with S. equinus and K. oxytoca along with E. casseliflavus has never been reported earlier in post-transplant state.
