Abstract
Ralstonia pickettii is an aerobic, gram-negative bacterium causing bacteremia following the use of contaminated saline vials, respiratory therapy solutions, skin disinfectants, blood culture mediums, and water supplies. It is rarely associated with human infections. The authors report two cases of R. pickettii bacteremia in patients with Port-A-Caths that could be treated only by removal of the ports.Entities:
