Abstract

Pseudomonas oryzihabitans is a gram-negative bacillus usually isolated from cases of bacteremia, CNS infections, catheter associated infections or any device related infections, sinusitis, wound infections, skin infections especially in immunocompromised patients in a hospital settings. Only few cases of bacteremia have been reported due to this rare pathogen. This is a first case report from North India in a terminally ill patient suffering from chronic liver disease. Proper isolation and early initiation of antibiotics as per sensitivity pattern cleared the infection, but later he died due to other complications. The need of automated methods for identification and sensitivity testing limits the reporting of this rare but important pathogen in hospital settings. Detailed research work and studies are needed to better understand this rare pathogen and its clinical manifestations for better outcome.
