Abstract
The incidence of device infections has been increasing in parallel with the rising number of patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) over the past 30 years [1]. The majority [...]
Cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) infections have high mortality and morbidity. CIED infections secondary to gram-negative pathogens are rare, and there are few data regarding their treatment. We report a case of a 60-year-old male who developed recurrent Salmonella enteritidis bacteremia leading to CIED infection and nonsusceptibility to ciprofloxacin. Keywords. antibiotic resistance; combination antibiotic therapy; Salmonella.
