Chryseohaderium indologenes was isolated from the blood cultures of an oncological patient with a totally implantable device. Because a catheter-related infection was suspected, the Port-A-Cath® was removed after a 10-day course of piperacillin–tazobactam. Differences in susceptibility may exist if either the criteria for either Pseudomonas or Enterobaderiaceae are used.
