Corynebacterium nuruki: A novel pathogen in human catheter-related bacteremia
A 72-year-old with lymphoma developed catheter-related bacteremia caused by <i>Corynebacterium nuruki,</i> a microorganism previously unlinked to human infections. Diagnosis included MALDI-TOF and genomic sequencing. Bacteremia was treated with vancomycin and the catheter was replaced. This case introduces <i>C. nuruki</i> as a potential pathogen in immunocompromised patients.
