We report a ventriculoperitoneal shunt infection associated with Kytococcus schroeteri, a Gram-positive bacterium from the family Dermacoccaceae. While the biochemical identification systems do not reliably identify this potential pathogen, sequence-based identification is recommended to guide the antibiotic treatment of this intrinsically meticillin-resistant species, which is susceptible to vancomycin, gentamicin and/or rifampicin.
我们报告了一例与 Kytococcus schroeteri 相关的脑室-腹腔分流感染,Kytococcus schroeteri 是一种来自皮科球菌科的革兰氏阳性菌。虽然生化鉴定系统不能可靠地鉴定这种潜在的病原体,但推荐基于序列的鉴定方法来指导这种固有耐甲氧西林的物种的抗生素治疗,该物种对万古霉素、庆大霉素和/或利福平敏感。
