| Popis: |
An experience with wound sepsis due to Flavobacterium meningosepticum in two pediatric burn patients is described. This organism, which is typically found in water and soil, generally has low pathogenicity but may become clinically important in immunocompromised hosts. It is typically resistant to antibiotics prescribed for infections caused by aerobic, gram-negative bacteria. When flavobacteria are suspected as pathogens, initial therapy should begin with ciprofloxacin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, or clindamycin. |
