Recurrent bacteremia by Chryseobacterium indologenes in an oncology patient with a totally implanted intravascular device
Abstract
Chryseobacterium indologenes was isolated from the blood cultures of an oncological patient with a totally implantable device. Because a catheter-related infection was suspected, the Port-A-Cath was removed after a 10-day course of piperacillin-tazobactam. Differences in susceptibility may exist if either the criteria for either Pseudomonas or Enterobacteriaceae are used.
