Abstract
A case of Chryseobacterium indologenes infection is reported, identified in an invasive mechanic ventilation patient's tracheal aspiration material. Epidemiological, microbiological, and intensive care unit therapy aspects are discussed. The patient was a 30 years-old male, admitted with idiopathic medullary aplasia and febrile neutropenia, referred to the intensive care unit with severe bronchopneumonia and sepsis of pulmonary origin. Most of the previously reported Chryseobacterium indologenes infection cases were associated with severe diseases and polymicrobial infections which could make difficult interpreting antimicrobial therapy options against this agent.
