Persistent <i>Burkholderia cepacia</i> Bacteremia in Reconstructive Surgery: Resistance to Ceftazidime/Avibactam and Co-Trimoxazole With Risk of Infective Endocarditis-A Case Report. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT Persistent Burkholderia cepacia bacteremia in soft tissue infections creates diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its resistance profile and potential for endovascular involvement. Early culture‐guided therapy, multidisciplinary coordination, and vigilance for complications, such as infective endocarditis, are essential for achieving ...
