Clonal multidrug-resistant Corynebacterium striatum within a nosocomial environment, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2013
Corynebacterium striatum is a potentially pathogenic microorganism with the ability to produce outbreaks of nosocomial infections. Here, we document a nosocomial outbreak caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) C. striatum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Shifts in the Lung Microbiota and Antibiotic Resistance Genes Occur With Aging in Patients With Lower Respiratory Tract Infections

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are a leading cause of critical illness and mortality. The lung microbiome represents an important reservoir for the exchange of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). The pathogenic microbes remain poorly understood among different age groups, including children (0–17 years), youth (18–39 years), middle‐aged ...

Beyond ‘One Size Fits All’: Abatement of Linezolid‐Induced Thrombocytopenia Through Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Precision Dosing—A Case Study

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Linezolid is an oxazolidinone antibiotic used in the treatment of Gram‐positive bacterial infections. However, its prolonged use is often limited by adverse effects, including thrombocytopenia. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) has been proposed to individualize linezolid dosing to mitigate such adverse effects. This study presents a case of

A Case of Corynebacterium diphtheriae Native Mitral and Tricuspid Valve Infective Endocarditis Complicated by Shower Emboli

Case Reports in Cardiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Infective endocarditis is a rare phenomenon that may have devastating consequences. While uncommon, the spectrum of causative organisms can include Corynebacterium species. Corynebacterium diphtheriae endocarditis bears a high potential for systemic complications and overall mortality. We present a case of mitral and tricuspid native valve endocarditis

Daptomycin resistance of Corynebacterium jeikeium due to pgsA gene mutation acquired during daptomycin treatment in a patient with infective endocarditis

International Journal of Infectious Diseases
Daptomycin is an alternative agent for invasive infections caused by Corynebacterium species in patients with intolerance to vancomycin. Although it has recently been recognized that treatment failure with daptomycin due to the emergence of resistant ...

From Animals to Arthroplasty: Insights From Three Cases of Pasteurella Prosthetic Joint Infection and a Comprehensive Review of the Literature

Case Reports in Surgery, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Pasteurella spp. are rare but important zoonotic pathogens that can cause prosthetic joint infection (PJI). We present 3 cases of Pasteurella prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) following close animal contact that required treatment with DAIR (debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention) procedures. An extensive literature review was performed which

Antibioflm effects of extracellular matrix degradative agents on the biofilm of different strains of multi-drug resistant Corynebacterium striatum

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2022
Background Corynebacterium striatum is a microorganism with an excellent capacity for biofilm production and thus has been correlated with nosocomial transmission and invasive infections.
