Central line-related bacteraemia due to Roseomonas mucosa in a neutropenic patient with acute myeloid leukaemia in Piraeus, Greece.
A case of central venous catheter-related bacteraemia due to Roseomonas mucosa in a neutropenic patient with acute myelogenous leukaemia is reported. The patient was successfully treated with amikacin and piperacillin-tazobactam. The clinical isolate was identified as R. mucosa by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
