Polymicrobial peritonitis following colonoscopic polypectomy in a peritoneal dialysis patient.
Patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) are at an increased risk of peritonitis following colonoscopy with or without polypectomy. Guidelines for peritoneal dialysis patients recommend administration of prophylactic antibiotics and drainage of the abdomen before colonoscopy. In this report, we describe a 53-year-old woman on CAPD who underwent colonoscopy with polyp...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of the vanE gene cluster in vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis N00-410 isolated in Canada.
The vanE operon was characterized from Enterococcus faecalis N00-410 (MIC of vancomycin = 24 microg/ml). The organization of the vanE operon was identical to that of the vanC1 operon from Enterococcus gallinarum, with protein identities ranging from 46 to 63%. An open reading frame located downstream of the vanE operon showed significant homology to a number of integrase genes, all of which are...
متن کاملPeritoneal dialysis fluid concentrations of linezolid in the treatment of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium peritonitis.
OBJECTIVE To determine linezolid concentrations in peritoneal dialysis fluid after multiple oral doses of the drug in a 46-year-old man with vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium peritonitis who was undergoing peritoneal dialysis. METHODS After administration of oral linezolid 600 mg twice/day was started, peritoneal dialysis fluid was collected at the end of several 4- and 8-hour dwell t...
متن کاملEnterococcus gallinarum N04-0414 harbors a VanD-type vancomycin resistance operon and does not contain a D-alanine:D-alanine 2 (ddl2) gene.
Enterococcus gallinarum N04-0414 (MIC for vancomycin, 256 microg/ml) harbored a vanD-type vancomycin resistance operon as well as the intrinsic vanC1 operon. The D-Ala:D-Ala ligase 2 gene (ddl2) was not present in the strain, though it is found downstream of the vanS gene from the vanC operon in E. gallinarum ATCC 49573 and 19 other E. gallinarum strains tested.
متن کاملNitrofurantoin is active against vancomycin-resistant enterococci.
The activity of nitrofurantoin was tested against 300 isolates of Enterococcus faecium, Enterococcus faecalis, and Enterococcus gallinarum. No isolates tested were resistant to nitrofurantoin (MIC, >/=128 microg/ml), including vancomycin-resistant E. faecium isolates with vanA- and vanB-positive genotypes and vancomycin-resistant E. gallinarum isolates. We conclude that nitrofurantoin may provi...
