Abstract:
Rhizobium radiobacter is a gram-negative tumourigenic plant pathogen that rarely causes infections in humans. Rhizobium radiobacter has a strong predilection to cause infection particularly in those patients who have long standing indwelling foreign devices. Herewith we report a rare case of Rhizobium radiobacter bacteremia in a new born baby without other risk factors. The patient was successfully treated with gentamicin and imipenem. To the best of our knowledge this is the first documented case of R. radiobacter from India causing neonatal infection.
