Title: Tigecycline therapy for bacteremia and aortitis caused by Salmonella enterica serotype Choleraesuis: A case report. Author: Tang HJ, Chen CC, Ko WC. Journal: J Microbiol Immunol Infect; 2016 Feb; 49(1):131-3. PubMed ID: 22503800. Abstract: Non-typhoid Salmonella species represent a significant cause of aortitis. Few antimicrobial agents can be used when the patient is allergic or intolerable to cephalosporins or fluoroquinolones. Here, we report a case of bacteremia and aortitis caused by Salmonella enterica serotype Choleraesuis. This patient was cured by initial parenteral tigecycline and subsequent oral ciprofloxacin without surgical intervention.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
