title: Tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens intravascular catheter infection identified using 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing.
abstract: Cultures of blood from a hemodialysis line repeatedly yielded a gram-positive rod. The organism was identified as Tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens by 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing, and the patient was treated successfully by removal of the line.
