Comment on: Prosthetic hip joint infection with a Streptococcus agalactiae isolate not susceptible to penicillin G and ceftriaxone.
Sir, Gaudreau et al. reported a case of group B Streptococcus (GBS) periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) that was treated with oral penicillin (300 mg once daily), but without surgical intervention. After 3 years of suppressive therapy, GBS infection relapsed, and the isolate revealed reduced penicillin susceptibility. A similar case was recently reported by Longtin et al. After 5 years of supp...
متن کاملEfficacy of garenoxacin in treatment of experimental endocarditis due to Staphylococcus aureus or viridans group streptococci.
The activity of garenoxacin was investigated in rats with experimental endocarditis due to staphylococci and viridans group streptococci (VGS). The staphylococci tested comprised one ciprofloxacin-susceptible and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) isolate (isolate 1112), one ciprofloxacin-susceptible but methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) isolate (isolate P8), and one cipr...
متن کاملEfficacy of levofloxacin in the treatment of experimental endocarditis caused by viridans group streptococci.
Levofloxacin was investigated against viridans group streptococci in vitro and in rats with experimental aortic endocarditis. The MIC(90)s of levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin for 20 independent isolates of such bacteria were 1 and 8 mg/L, respectively. Rats were infected with two types of organism: either fully susceptible to levofloxacin MIC < or = 0.5 mg/L) or borderline susceptible (MIC 1-2 mg...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility patterns and macrolide resistance genes of viridans group streptococci from blood cultures in Korea.
OBJECTIVES Our aim was to study the antimicrobial susceptibilities and macrolide resistance mechanisms of viridans group streptococci (VGS) in a Korean tertiary hospital. METHODS MICs of five antimicrobials were determined for 106 VGS isolated from blood cultures. The macrolide resistance mechanisms of erythromycin non-susceptible isolates were studied by the double-disc test and PCR. RESUL...
متن کاملStreptococcus gordonii—a rare cause of prosthetic joint infection in a total hip replacement
A 69-year-old female with a history of bilateral total hip replacements presented with rigors, fever and sudden onset left groin pain. A pelvic X-ray showed well-fixed implants. Blood results revealed a leucocytosis (white cell count 22.3 × 109 l-1) and elevated C-reactive protein (211 mg/l). Ultrasound-guided aspiration of her left hip grew Streptococcus gordonii No source infection could be i...
