Proteus mirabilis, Bacteroides fragilis, and Bacteroides melanogenicus
are right up there in the nasty olfactory category, also. I had a
specimen from a "scrotal abscess" (no further comment) that grew the
latter, and when I brought the plates out of the anaerobe chamber to
discard them - well - it was NASTY (it also grew Proteus mirabilis and
the combination was overwhelming).
Any other nominations?
