Menger's theorem for infinite graphs (Aharoni–Berger [AhBe09]).

The theorem actually proved by Aharoni and Berger holds for arbitrary vertex sets AA and BB: in any (possibly infinite) graph GG there is a family PP of pairwise vertex-disjoint AA--BB paths together with an AA--BB separator SS consisting of the choice of exactly one vertex from each path in PP. The disjointness and independence hypotheses of erdos_599 are not needed.
