AbstractAgrobacteriumisolates from intravenous catheters of three hospitalized patients were initially identified asA. tumefaciens,but inability to produce 3-ketolactose revealed that two of them wereA. vitis.However, rDNA analysis correlated all of the isolates toA. tumefaciens.Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis ascertained the nosocomial transmission of the infection.
