Abstract:
Agrobacterium radiobacter, a Gram-negative bacillus, is recognized as an emerging opportunistic human pathogen that has a propensity to cause infections in patients with indwelling foreign devices. Here, we describe the first reported case of catheter-related bacteremia caused by A. radiobacter in a hemodialysis patient with a long-term tunneled-cuffed hemodialysis catheter. This case shows that A. radiobacter should be included in the list of pathogens that can cause catheter-related bacteremia in hemodialysis patients.
