Urinary tract infection caused by Lactococcus garvieae in a premature neonate: A case report

A L Hurst et al. J Neonatal Perinatal Med. 2023.

Abstract

Lactococcus garvieae is a gram-positive cocci that has primarily been described as a pathogen in various fish species, but has increasingly been reported to cause endocarditis and other infections in humans [1]. Neonatal infection caused by Lactococcus garvieae has not been previously reported. Here we describe a premature neonate who developed a urinary tract infection with this organism and was successfully treated with vancomycin therapy.

Keywords: Lactococcus garvieae; neonate; urinary tract infection.
