摘要
A case of bacteremia caused by Pediococcus acidilactici occurring in a patient with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder is described. The bacteremia persisted despite an antimicrobial regimen of vancomycin, ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and caspofungin. Within 36 h of switching the vancomycin to daptomycin (6 mg/kg per day), the bacteremia resolved and the patient improved clinically. Previous reports of human pediococcal infection are also reviewed. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
