Its isolation from various clinical specimens have been reported such as gall bladder tissue, blood culture and stool. Moellerella wisconsensis has very few or less case reports reported because it has been recovered from various non clinical sources like water, food and sometimes from the animal origin. We are reporting a case of isolation of Moellerella wisconsensis from stool sample for the first time in western region of India (Ahmedabad-Gujarat).
