H. huttiense is an emerging pathogen in CRBSI. Piperacillin/tazobactam, ceftazidime and meropenem appear to be good therapeutic options for the treatment of H. huttiense infections. ALT and systemic antibiotics can be used in H. huttiense -CRBSI to sterilize and preserve the central venous catheter.
