Abstract
Mycoplasma salivarium, preferentially an inhabitant of the human oral cavity, has rarely been found in other locations associated with disease. We describe here, for what is believed to be the first time, the detection of M. salivarium, together with Candida glabrata, in an occluded biliary stent of an icteric, cholestatic patient.
