Chryseobacterium indologenes is an emerging multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacillus associated with severe nosocomial infections. We present a case of a 27-year-old postpartum woman who developed a life-threatening Chryseobacterium indologenes sepsis following a stillbirth. Despite prompt diagnosis and intensive care management, the patient’s condition deteriorated rapidly and was fatal. Thus, highlighting the challenges posed by the multidrug-resistant nature of this pathogen and the limited treatment options available.
