Brevundimonas diminuta (B. diminuta) is found in the healthcare environment and in the community. Currently, there are few reports of infections caused by this microorganism, especially in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). This is a case report demonstrating the successful treatment of B. diminuta infection using ceftriaxone in a patient had undergoing CAPD. A 44-year-old woman undergoing CAPD was diagnosed with a B. diminuta infection. Ceftriaxone was given both intravenously and intraperitoneally.
