  • Title: A bumpy road to the diagnosis of a Kytococcus schroeteri shunt infection.
    Author: Schaumburg F, Schmalstieg C, Fiedler B, Brentrup A, Omran H, Becker K.
    Journal: J Med Microbiol; 2013 Jan; 62(Pt 1):165-168. PubMed ID: 23002062.
    Abstract:
    We report a ventriculoperitoneal shunt infection associated with Kytococcus schroeteri, a Gram-positive bacterium from the family Dermacoccaceae. While the biochemical identification systems do not reliably identify this potential pathogen, sequence-based identification is recommended to guide the antibiotic treatment of this intrinsically meticillin-resistant species, which is susceptible to vancomycin, gentamicin and/or rifampicin.
