This case report presented a 71-year-old female patient with a clinical picture compatible with a urinary tract infection (UTI) who did not respond to conventional treatment. The urine culture showed the growth of a bacterium called Providencia rettgeri, which is multidrug-resistant, among other antibiotics, to the one most commonly used in our population, such as fosfomycin trometamol, for uncomplicated UTIs.
