title: Catheter-related Rahnella aquatilis bacteremia in a pediatric bone marrow transplant recipient.
abstract: Rahnella aquatilis, a rarely encountered member of the family Enterobacteriaceae, was twice isolated from the blood of a pediatric bone marrow transplant recipient. This is the first report of a pediatric case of R. aquatilis bacteremia, and it was probably related to inappropriate handling of a Hickman catheter.
