Core Tip	Sarcina ventriculi is a rare bacterium, seen in gastric biopsies of patients with gastroparesis. Only eight cases have been reported so far, where in it has been implicated in the development of gastric ulcers, emphysematous gastritis and gastric perforation. In our case, gastric erythema improved with antibiotic treatment. Given its association with life threatening illness in two reported cases, it may be prudent to treat with antibiotics and anti-ulcer therapy, until further understanding is achieved.
