Abstract

A case of Broviac catheter-related bacteremia in a 3-year-old boy infected with Oerskovia turbata is discussed. The blood cultures of the patient remained positive despite antibiotic therapy, and only with catheter removal was his blood sterilized. The microbiology and antimicrobial susceptibilities of this organism are described.
