ABSTRACT
Gordonia species are emerging pathogens that often misidentified as Rhodococcus or Nocardia but reliably distinguished by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. We present a case series of 6 episodes catheter-associated infection caused in 5 patients seen at tertiary care pediatric hospital and describe the management outcomes this adults children.
