title: Central venous catheter-related infection due to Agrobacterium radiobacter: a report of 2 cases.
abstract: We report 2 cases of Agrobacterium radiobacter bacteremia in immunocompromised patients. Removal of the central venous catheter and administration of antimicrobial therapy led to favorable outcomes in both patients. Infections due to A. radiobacter are rare and usually occur in patients with predisposing factors.
