Abstract

Acidovorax oryzae is a bacterium that has never before been reported as pathogenic in human subjects. Here we describe the first case of a successfully treated A. oryzae catheter-associated bloodstream infection in an immunocompetent patient prior to heart transplantation.

FIG 1
A timeline of the Acidovorax oryzae bacteremia. The CRP levels are displayed graphically as a line chart. The black circles indicate the times that the positive cultures were acquired and are labeled with the site of culture. Below the chart is a graphical representation of when the vascular catheters were implanted and explanted. The patient received the transplant on day 77. For clarity, only positive cultures are displayed; see Table 1 for a full list of positive and negative culture results. RIJ, right internal jugular catheter; LIJ, left internal jugular catheter; PICC, peripherally inserted central catheter.
