Case Commentary: An espresso, a free puppy, and multidrug-resistant Campylobacter .
William L MusickPublished in: Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy (2023)
Campylobacter species infections in immunocompromised patients have the potential to progress to bacteremia and other extra-intestinal diseases. There is a sparsity of robust data, including antibiotic susceptibility data for contemporary agents, upon which to base treatment decisions. Moreover, intrinsic antimicrobial resistance in Campylobacter spp. further limits treatment options. The current publication by Bonilla-Moreno et al. elaborates on this clinical dilemma through the development, treatment, and molecular investigation of the putative mechanisms of carbapenem resistance in an immunocompromised patient with Campylobacter coli bacteremia.
