We describe six patients with hospital-acquired bacteremia caused by Methylobacterium species, including M. radiotolerans (n = 2), M. thiocyanatum (n = 2), M. aminovorans (n = 1), and M. lusitanum (n = 1), which were confirmed to species level by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Among these patients, five had catheter-related bacteremia and all had favorable outcomes.
