There is an increasing prevalence of urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by multiresistant gram-negative enteric bacilli such as extended-spectrum beta-lactamase as well as Gram-positive enterococci whose vancomycin-resistance can be as high as 25%. We report on a 68-year-old Caucasian female with a UTI caused by a vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, only tested to be susceptible to gentamycin, linezolid and daptomycin. Within a day after administration of the bactericidal daptomycin clinical and laboratory signs of infection regressed and graft function recovered. Our case suggests that daptomycin might be an effective alternative for UTI caused by vancomycin-resistant enterococci.
由多重耐药革兰氏阴性肠道杆菌(如超广谱β-内酰胺酶)以及万古霉素耐药率高达25%的革兰氏阳性肠球菌引起的尿路感染(UTI)患病率正在上升。我们报告了一名68岁的白种女性,她患有由耐万古霉素屎肠球菌引起的UTI,仅检测出对庆大霉素、利奈唑胺和达托霉素敏感。在给予杀菌性达托霉素一天内,感染的临床和实验室体征消退,移植功能恢复。我们的病例表明,达托霉素可能是耐万古霉素肠球菌引起的UTI的有效替代药物。
