We present a case of a urinary tract infection secondary to Pediococcus pentosaceus causing septic shock and acute kidney injury in a 70-year-old male. We demonstrate successful treatment with a 10-day course of piperacillin/tazobactam. Recently, Pediococci have been found to be the cause of opportunistic infections in humans. This has posed a challenge to treating infections caused by this species because it has been found to be resistant to multiple antibiotics, including glycopeptides.
我们报告一例70岁男性因戊糖片球菌引起泌尿道感染继发感染性休克和急性肾损伤的病例。我们展示了使用哌拉西林/他唑巴坦治疗10天疗程取得成功的案例。最近,已发现片球菌是人类机会性感染的病因。这给治疗该菌种引起的感染带来了挑战,因为已发现它对包括糖肽类在内的多种抗生素具有耐药性。
