 en Catheter associated bloodstream infection caused by R. radiobacter check for this species in other resources
Sood, S.; Nerurkar, V. & Malvankar, S.

Abstract

Rhizobium radiobacter check for this species in other resources is a gram negative bacillus that is infrequently recognized in clinical specimens but is emerging as an opportunistic human pathogen. Infections due to Rhizobium radiobacter are strongly related to the presence of foreign plastic material and effective treatment often requires removal of the device. We report a case of R. radiobacter bloodstream infection associated with a central venous catheter which was easily controlled by antimicrobial treatment and did not require removal of intravascular device. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report from India implicating R. radiobacter as a cause of human infection.
