Catheter-related bacteremia caused by Staphylococcus pseudintermedius refractory to antibiotic-lock therapy in a hemophilic child with dog exposure

Chia-Yunn Chuang et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2010 Apr.

Abstract

We describe a case of catheter-related bacteremia due to Staphylococcus pseudintermedius in a child with dog exposure. The organism was confirmed as S. pseudintermedius based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and positive PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism of the pta gene.
