Abstract
A 72-year-old with lymphoma developed catheter-related bacteremia caused by Corynebacterium nuruki, 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 C. nuruki as a potential pathogen in immunocompromised patients.
