Central venous catheter-related infection due to Comamonas testosteroni in a woman with breast cancer

G Le Moal et al. Scand J Infect Dis. 2001.

Abstract

A 75-y-old woman with breast cancer presented with bacteremia due to Comamonas testosteroni. Evolution was favorable following adapted antimicrobial therapy and removal of a central venous catheter. This germ seems to be a rare pathogen; as reported in the literature, it is mostly encountered in patients with predisposing factors.
