The article focuses on bacteremia, which is caused by multiply resistant corynebacterium urealyticum. It presents six cases of bacteremia caused by multiply resistant Corynebacterium urealyticum, four of which occurred in patients who had no evidence of pathology in the urinary tract. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was determined by the disk diffusion method using blood agar and disks containing the following antibiotics: ampicillin, cephalothin, erythromycin, gentamicin, vancomycin, teicoplanin, imipenem, tetracycline, rifampicin, ciprofloxacin, and ofloxacin. In all six patients, Corynebacterium urealyticum was the only pathogen isolated from blood. Corynebacterium urealyticum should be considered a possible blood-borne pathogen, even if the sample lacks any association with the urinary tract infection. |
