The genus Agrobacterium is composed of several phytopathogenic species occurring worldwide in soils. One nontumorigenic species, Agrobacterium radiobacter, has occasionally been isolated from clinical specimens, but its pathogenic role in these cases has been difficult to ascertain since agrobacteria are usually isolated in association with other bacteria. We report the case of a central venous catheter infection and present the characteristics of A. radiobacter.
土壤杆菌属由几种在世界各地土壤中存在的植物致病物种组成。一种非致瘤性物种,即放射土壤杆菌,偶尔会从临床标本中分离出来,但由于土壤杆菌通常是与其他细菌一起分离得到的,因此很难确定其在这些病例中的致病作用。我们报告了一例中心静脉导管感染病例,并介绍了放射土壤杆菌的特征。
