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.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
