Right-sided endocarditis caused by polyclonal Staphylococcus aureus infection

چکیده
Abstract We present a case of bacterial endocarditis with both methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus , which based on typing, originated from two distinct clones. Such may be misinterpreted by microbiology lab automation to monoclonal multi-drug resistant while simple techniques will instantly reveal clonality.

Polyclonal staphylococcus endocarditis.
Coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CNS) is the most frequent cause of nosocomial bacteremia and prosthetic valve endocarditis. CNS bacteremia can be polyclonal. No data exist on the clonality of CNS causing endocarditis. We present a case of CNS aortic homograft endocarditis in which at least five different genotypes of CNS were identified in initial blood-culture isolates by genomic macrorestr...
متن کاملEndocarditis caused by Staphylococcus aureus with reduced susceptibility to vancomycin.
Clinical management of infective endocarditis (IE) is expected to become more difficult with the emergence of Staphylococcus aureus with reduced susceptibility to vancomycin (SARV) in the United States and worldwide. We report the strain characterization and treatment of a patient with SARV IE.
متن کاملA rabbit model of right-sided Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis created with echocardiographic guidance
BACKGROUND The most widely used experimental models of infective endocarditis (IE) are the rabbit and rat models, in which cardiac valve lesions are induced by a polyethylene catheter introduced into the left ventricle through the aortic valve. Our study was designed to create a rabbit model of IE right-sided with echocardiographic guidance. METHODS Thirty rabbits underwent both catheterizati...
