Abstract

We present the case of a 3-month-old immunocompromised infant who developed a vascular catheter-related bloodstream infection caused by Pantoea septica. Susceptibility testing results for this isolate and 10 additional clinical strains are provided to help define the susceptibility profile of this infrequently recovered organism.
