Aortic Endograft Infection with Mycobacterium chimaera and Granulicatella adiacens , Switzerland, 2014

摘要

We describe an aortic endograft infection caused by Mycobacterium chimaera and Granulicatella adiacens , successfully treated with prolonged antimicrobial drug therapy after complete explantation of the infected endoprosthesis and extra-anatomical reconstruction. Whole-genome sequencing analysis did not indicate a close relationship to bacterial strains known to cause infections after cardiac surgery.
