Corynebacterium striatum bacteremia associated with central venous catheter infection
Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2012 Corynebacterium striatum (C striatum) has been considered a contaminant of blood culture in past decades. Here we report the case of a patient with acute deterioration of chronic renal failure. She received hemodialysis and died from C striatum bacteremia. By using a randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method, we found that an association existed
