Pytest with sqlalchemy db conection terminates in subsequent test case

I am using a sqlalchemy engine connection as a pytest fixture as a way to test functions that require database interaction. When I run the test cases individually by running pytest tests/filename.py::test_get_token_data or pytest tests/filename.py::test_create the test passes; however, when running the entire test case, pytest tests/filename.py, I get the following error:

E       sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (psycopg2.errors.AdminShutdown) terminating connection due to administrator command
E       server closed the connection unexpectedly
E               This probably means the server terminated abnormally
E               before or while processing the request.
(Background on this error at: http://sqlalche.me/e/13/e3q8)

To my understanding, after each test, the database is suppose to be cleared (which I've confirmed), however, I do not understand the error. My code below.

conftest.py

@pytest.fixture
def db_connection(test_config, admin_db_connection):
    config = test_config()
    engine = sqlalchemy.create_engine(config.DB_URL)
    connection = engine.connect()
    yield connection
    connection.close()

    # clear database
    from psycopg2.extensions import AsIs  # handle SQL quoting

    with admin_db_connection.cursor() as curs:
        curs.execute("drop database %s with (force);", (AsIs(config.DB_NAME),))
        curs.execute(
            "create database %s template vtag_template;", (AsIs(config.DB_NAME),)
        )
