Vancomycin-resistant Clostridium innocuum bacteremia following oral vancomycin for Clostridium difficile infection

Yuan-Pin Hung et al. Anaerobe. 2014 Dec.

Abstract

An 85 year-old male initially admitted for septic shock due to urinary tract infection experienced Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea during hospitalization and was treated by oral vancomycin. His clinical course was complicated by cytomegalovirus colitis and then vancomycin-resistant Clostridium innocuum bacteremia, which was cured by uneventfully parenteral piperacillin-tazobactam therapy.

Keywords: Clostridium difficile infection; Clostridium innocuum; Cytomegalovirus colitis; Oral vancomycin.
