Abstract

Streptomyces species are part of the actinomycetes group. They have rarely been reported as a cause of invasive infection. We report a case of catheter-related Streptomyces bacteremia complicated by severe sepsis and septic thrombosis. We also present a brief review of the literature on Streptomyces bacteremia.
