Abstract
We present a case of a 80-year-old patient with a catheter-related bloodstream infection caused by Chimaeribacter species. The Chimaeribacter genus represents a novel genus within the Yersiniaceae family. To the best of our knowledge, as of today, nothing is known about the pathogenicity of Chimaeribacter species, nor about the appropriate antimicrobial management. In the present case, we demonstrate, for the first time, a potential clinical relevance of the Chimaeribacter species. Antimicrobial susceptibility data are presented.
