A 27-year-old male is brought to the emergency department with fever, confusion, and difficulty breathing. Five days ago he was evaluated for a sore throat and was found to have an exudate on the right tonsil. No antibiotics were prescribed. He works in an office, is sexually active in a monogamous relationship, does not smoke cigarettes, does not use illicit drugs, and is on no medications. On the day of admission he complained of worsening sore throat, right neck pain, dysphagia, and rigors. Physical examination is notable for a temperature of 39.2°C (102.6°F), blood pressure of 85/55 mmHg, heart rate of 125/min, and swelling, redness, and pain over the right lateral neck. A chest radiograph shows multiple round opacities, some with an air-fluid level. Which of the following organisms is most likely to grow on blood culture?
A. Bacteroides fragilis
B. Fusobacterium necrophorum
C. Rhizopus oryzae
