AB  - Slackia exigua (S. exigua) is an obligatory anaerobic coccobacillus under the 
      family of Coriobacteriaceae. It is a rare cause of pyogenic extraoral infections. 
      We report a 58-year-old lady with good past health presented with fulminant 
      community-acquired pneumonia causing acute respiratory distress syndrome caused 
      by S. exigua requiring veno-venous extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation 
      (VV-ECMO). Bacterial identification can be challenging and often require 16 S 
      rRNA and MALDI-TOF MS. The patient was treated with amoxicillin-clavulanic acid 
      according to sensitivity and made significant recovery.
