Broviac catheter infection with Kluyvera cryocrescens: a case report.

V K Wong
PMCID: PMC269149  PMID: 3597755

Abstract

Kluyvera cryocrescens was isolated from a blood culture drawn from a patient with a Broviac catheter-related infection. K. cryocrescens has been considered an opportunistic pathogen but has not previously been associated with central venous catheter infections.
