Agrobacteria are a group of phytopathogenic organisms widely distributed in soil; they are now recognized as rare human pathogens affecting mostly immunocompromised hosts. We report a case of catheter-related bacteremia due to Agrobacterium radiobacter in a neutropenic patient and describe the clinical presentations, treatment strategies and outcome of Agrobacterium infections based on our experience and a literature review. The antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of these organisms appear to be quite variable and collective susceptibility data derived from this and previous reports are provided.
土壤杆菌是一类广泛分布于土壤中的植物病原微生物；它们现在被认为是罕见的人类病原体，主要影响免疫功能低下的宿主。我们报告了1例中性粒细胞减少患者因放射土壤杆菌引起的导管相关菌血症病例，并根据我们的经验和文献综述描述了土壤杆菌感染的临床表现、治疗策略及结果。这些微生物的抗菌药敏模式似乎差异很大，并提供了来源于本病例及既往报告的综合药敏数据。
