Objectives To evaluate the clinical significance of Streptomyces isolates in different clinical samples. Material and methods Review of the records of all cases of Streptomyces isolated from any clinical sample at a tertiary Hospital, during a seven-year period. Results Streptomyces was isolated from 13 patients. All of them had underlying diseases. Only in one patient Streptomyces was considered to have a pathogenic role in the clinical picture. We report the third case of catheter-related infection caused by this microorganism. Conclusions Streptomyces is usually isolated from patients with underlying diseases. Before considering them significative, Streptomyces isolates must be interpreted in the clinical context. |
