Delftia acidovorans: A rare cause of septic pulmonary embolism from catheter-related infection: Case report and literature review

We report a similar case but in a young adult who developed septic emboli due to DA that was caused by an infected peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line. Since the organism is highly susceptible to recurrent embolization, the PICC line was removed and the patient was treated successfully with an appropriate antibiotic regime.
