We present a case of bacteremia by an unsual, instrinsically multidrug resistant organism,
Chryseobacterium indologenes
in a 59 year old gentleman with squamous cell carcinoma of lung with multiple metastasis. Despite of treating as per sensitivity report after isolating
Chryseobacterium indologenes
, patient could not be survived. The pathogenicity and predictability of the organism towards antibiotics, both
in vivo
and
in vitro
needs further research.
