The crucial role of catheters in micrococcal bloodstream infections in cancer patients.

Elizabeth Rocio Ramos1, Ray Hachem, Souad Youssef, Xiang Fang, Ying Jiang, Issam Raad.   

Abstract

Micrococcus bacteria are frequently isolated from blood cultures and could represent a cause of infections associated with medical devices, particularly in immunocompromised patients; however, there is a lack of information on the management of micrococcal bacteremia. We report what is, to our knowledge, the largest series of cases of micrococcal bacteremia ever studied and the great impact of catheter removal on its outcome.
