Mediastinitis superinfected by Achromobacter xylosoxidans. A case report.
Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy : Official Journal of the Japan Society of Chemotherapy 2018 December
We describe an extremely rare case of mediastinitis superinfected by emerging Achromobacter xylosoxidans. After mitral and aortic valves replacement, the patient first developed a Staphylococcus aureus mediastinitis, and five days after starting adapted antibiotic therapy, superficial pus analysis revealed the presence of Achromobacter xylosoxidans. This superinfection was considered superficial and focus was made on Staphylococcus aureus mediastinitis. Three weeks later, no more Staphylococcus aureus was found in pus samples and the sepsis seemed under control. Unfortunately, blood cultures were again positive for Achromobacter xylosoxidans three weeks later and the patient died from septic shock.
