摘要：Chryseobacterium indologenes thrives well in the environment and does not contribute to the human flora.It is recently being reported to cause a plethora of diseases in humans and has been shown to destroy antimicrobial agents and tissues.We report a case of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) in an immunocompromised male who was treated successfully with appropriate oral antibiotics.Also presented is a review,though not an exhaustive one,of the various case reports from India,proving the organism to be an important,emerging,and potentially dangerous nosocomial pathogen.
