What is the correct codes for the following infectious disease;

Septicemia due to Pseudomonas with septic shock

1. A48.8, R65.21
2. B96.5, R65.21

It seems that the correct answer should be the second one because here Pseudomonas is the CAUSE OF DISEASE CLASSIFIED ELSEWHERE which in this case is septicemia, any idea which code is correct?
Thanks
