Abstract

Five cases of catheter-related bacteremia caused by Gordonia terrae are reported. All patients who also had the primary diagnosis of cancer experienced nonneutropenic fever as a result of G. terrae infection. All patients were treated successfully with antibiotics, with the requirement of catheter removal for 2 patients who had systemic infections.
