Popis:	Patients with long term indwelling catheters with underlying immunosuppression or comorbid conditions are predisposed to develop catheter related blood stream infections with unusual organisms. Brevibacterium spp. are catalase-positive, non spore-forming, non-motile, aerobic, Gram-positive bacteria. Brevibacterium spp werenot considered a human pathogen, until recently few infections were noted. We report a case of catheter related blood stream infection by Brevibacterium casei in 17 year old young adult with B cell acute lymphoid leukemia. Patient was treated successfully with intravenous Vancomycin and Piperacillin-tazobactam along with peripherally inserted central catheter removal.
