| Summary: | Chryseobacterium indologenes, a non-fermentative Gram-negative bacilli distributed widely in nature, is an emerging nosocomial
pathogen, inherently resistant to a wide range of antibiotics. There is limited number of C. indologenes infections reported from
India. We report a case of C. indologenes associated pneumonia in a three-month-old infant with congenital heart disease. This
case highlights the importance of prompt diagnostic workup and targeted antibiotic therapy for its effective management. |
