Carbapenem-resistant Citrobacter amalonaticus and VRE bacteraemia in an immunocompetent patient after a urological Rezum procedure

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: 2. Abstract In this case, we present a 62-year-old man who presented with gross hematuria, fever, and chills one day after undergoing Rezum procedure and found to have carbapenem-resistant Citrobacter amalonaticus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis bacteremia. The patient was treated with daptomycin, eravacycline, and ceftalozane-tazobactam with positive results. We discuss our case and treatment of C. amalonaticus bacteremia, a pathogen with limited existing literature on its incidence, presentation, and treatment.
