Cupriavidus pauculus is a gram-negative rod isolated from water. It is rarely known to cause infections in humans. We present the case of a 72-year-old lady who developed Cupriavidus pauculus bacteremia probably originating from the water treatment plant of a hemodialysis unit. The patient improved with timely treatment with appropriate antibiotics.
