Corynebacterium striatum is a Gram-positive, non-sporing rod that is a commensal of the normal human mucosal and epithelial surfaces. C. striatum is a potential pathogen that can cause bloodstream infections through intravenous catheters, a major route to enter the bloodstream in immunocompromised patients. There is no standard definition of contamination and infection, which makes it difficult to determine the prevalence of actual Corynebacterium infections. C. striatum has been identified as a causative agent of bacteremia in endocarditis, septic arthritis, and other invasive diseases. It is a potential agent causing CRBSI (catheter-related bloodstream infection). Herein we report a case of CRBSI due to C. striatum in hospitalised patients in whom the right diagnosis yielded a better clinical response.
