Abstract: A Gram-negative rod known as Cupriavidus pauculus usually survives alone in soil and water, but it has also been remarkably isolated from immunocompromised people. This case report reported cases of girls in Duhok City, Iraq, who had a urinary tract infection and confirmed positive for Cupríavidus pauculus. This bacterium’s rarity and antibiotic susceptibility are highlighted in the case report, which could be helpful for future cases. Cupriavidus pauculus was sensitive to several antibiotics such as colistin, meropenem, imipenem, levofloxacin, tigecycline, piperacillin/tazobactam, tobramycin, and amikacin. While this bacterium was resistant to amoxiclav, amoxicillin, cefixime, ceftazidime, cephalothin, tetracycline, and co-trimethoprim using the VITEK System 2
