We describe an aortic endograft infection caused by Mycobacterium chimaera and Granulicatella adiacens, successfully treated with prolonged antimicrobial drug therapy after complete explantation of the infected endoprosthesis and extra-anatomical reconstruction. Whole-genome sequencing analysis did not indicate a close relationship to bacterial strains known to cause infections after cardiac surgery.
我们描述了一例由耻垢分枝杆菌和金氏金菌引起的主动脉覆膜支架感染,在完全取出感染的覆膜支架并进行体外重建后,通过延长抗菌药物治疗取得了成功。全基因组测序分析并未显示与已知在心脏手术后引起感染的细菌菌株有密切关系。
