Campylobacter rectus and Solobacterium moorei are anaerobic Gram-negative and Gram-positive rods, respectively, that are occasionally members of the human oral flora. Bacteraemia has rarely been reported. We present the first case of mixed C. rectus–S. moorei bacteraemia in an individual with diabetes and human immunodeficiency virus infection. Both bacteria were successfully identified by MALDI-TOF MS. Keywords: 16S rRNA gene sequencing, bacteraemia, Campylobacter rectus, herpes simplex virus type 1, MALDI TOF-MS, oesophagitis, Solobacterium moorei
