Persistent Bacteremia Due to Escherichia coli Vertebral Osteomyelitis [PDF]

Cureus
Vertebral osteomyelitis is a disc and vertebral infection that causes nonspecific symptoms such as back pain, fever, and weakness. The most common causative pathogen is Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli (E. coli) is an uncommon cause. An 88-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a fever and lower back pain. His blood cultures

Evolution of Multi-Resistance to Vancomycin, Daptomycin, and Linezolid in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Causing Persistent Bacteremia [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The genomic evolution in vivo in persistent infection was critical information for understanding how methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was adapted to host environments with high antibiotic selective pressure.

Use of rifampin in persistent coagulase negative staphylococcal bacteremia in neonates [PDF]

BMC Pediatrics, 2010
Background Coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) are the most common cause of neonatal sepsis in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). A minority of neonates does not respond to vancomycin therapy and develops persistent bacteremia, which may be ...

A Rare Case of Persistent Bacteremia Caused by Asaia spp. in an Infant [PDF]

Cureus
Asaia spp. has recently been reported to cause opportunistic infections in humans and is becoming an emerging hospital pathogen. To our knowledge, this is the first report on Asaia spp. in Malaysia. bacteremia in an infant. A girl with underlying Hirschsprung's disease, who was on parenteral feeding via a central venous catheter, developed persistent ...

Non-Typhoidal Salmonella enterica Bacteremia Complicated by Native Shoulder Septic Arthritis in a Patient with Sickle Cell Disease Following Foodborne Exposure: A Case Report and Literature Review [PDF]

Infectious Disease Reports
Background/Objectives: Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) species are well-recognized causes of invasive infection in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), with a particular predilection for the musculoskeletal system. Although Salmonella osteomyelitis is

Persistent Coagulase-Negative Staphylococcal Bacteremia in Neonates: Clinical, Microbiological Characteristics and Changes within a Decade

Antibiotics, 2022
Atypical outbreaks of persistent coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) bacteremias, defined as three or more consecutive positive blood cultures with the same CoNS species, at least 48 h apart, have been reported in neonatal intensive-care units (NICUs)

Daptomycin Use for Persistent Coagulase-Negative Staphylococcal Bacteremia in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Antibiotics
During the last two decades, the incidence of late-onset sepsis (LOS) has increased due to improved survival of premature neonates. Persistent bacteremia (PB) in LOS is defined as more than two positive blood cultures obtained on different calendar days ...

Risk factors and outcomes associated with persistent vancomycin resistant Enterococcal Bacteremia

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background Prior studies have identified that vancomycin resistant enterococcus (VRE) bacteremia that persists for four days or more is an independent predictor of mortality.
