Infective endocarditis due to Enterobacter cloacae resistant to third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins.
We report the case of using a long-term combination of meropenem and amikacin to treat infective endocarditis caused by Enterobacter cloacae resistant to third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins. Multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacilli, such as the E. cloacae in our study, may become possible pathogens of infective endocarditis. Our experience with this case indicates that long-term use o...
متن کاملChromosomal beta-lactamases of Enterobacter cloacae are responsible for resistance to third-generation cephalosporins.
About 70% of all Enterobacter cloacae strains tested possessed one of two species-specific beta-lactamases. These enzymes, E. cloacae beta-lactamase A and E. cloacae beta-lactamase B, with isoelectric points of 8.8 and 7.8, respectively, had the same pH and temperature optima. Both showed similar enzyme kinetics and were inhibited by cloxacillin but not by p-chloromercuribenzoate. E. cloacae be...
متن کاملA rare cause of healthcare-associated infective endocarditis: Enterobacter cloacae
We report a case of infective endocarditis secondary to healthcare-associated bloodstream infection caused by an uncommon etiologic agent, multidrug-resistant Enterobacter cloacae. The patient was treated with a combination of antimicrobial therapy and surgery, but could not be saved. With this case, we discuss the prevalence, risk factors, treatment options, and outcomes of the rarely encounte...
متن کاملPurpura Fulminans due to Enterobacter cloacae.
A 79-year-old Japanese woman with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma, was admitted for an evaluation of progressively worsening left lower extremity pain and purpura. Her lung cancer was complicated by radiation pneumonitis; therefore, she had been on glucocorticoid therapy for several months prior to this admission. The physical examination was remarkable for purpura on the left lower extremity (P...
متن کاملNursing Home Residents and Enterobacteriaceae Resistant to Third-Generation Cephalosporins
Limited data identify the risk factors for infection with Enterobacteriaceae resistant to third-generation cephalosporins among residents of long-term-care facilities. Using a nested case-control study design, nursing home residents with clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae resistant to third-generation cephalosporins were compared to residents with isolates of Enterobacteriaceae susceptible...
