- Abstract
- Rhizobium species, aerobic Gram-negative rods found in soils worldwide, are well-known tumor-inducing pathogens in plants.
Since 1980, when the first case of prosthetic valve endocarditis caused by Rhizobium radiobacter was reported, R. radiobacter has
been recognized as an opportunistic human pathogen. In Korea, three cases of infection by this organism have been reported.
Recently, we experienced a case of R. radiobacter bacteremia in a patient who underwent chemotherapy for lymphoma. Here, we
report the case with a review of the literature. (Korean J Med 76:S186-S189, 2009)
