| Title | Anaerobic sepsis due to multidrug-resistant Bacteroides fragilis: microbiological cure and clinical response with linezolid therapy. | | Author(s) | Wareham DW, Wilks M, Ahmed D, Brazier JS, Millar M | | Institution | Department of Microbiology, Barts & The London NHS Trust, London, United Kingdom. wareham@qmul.ac.uk | | Source | Clin Infect Dis 2005 Apr 1; 40(7):e67-8. | | Abstract | We describe the first reported case of anaerobic sepsis due to Bacteroides fragilis with simultaneous resistance to metronidazole, beta-lactams, beta lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitors, carbapenems, macrolides, and tetracyclines. Microbiological cure and clinical improvement was achieved with linezolid therapy, an agent that may be useful for the treatment of multidrug-resistant anaerobic infections. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
