Abstract
Thirty-six patients were treated with pristinamycin for 46 different microbiological isolates between April 2007 and July 2009. Pathogens included 9 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates, 13 methicillin-resistant coagulase negative staphylococci, and 9 vancomycin-resistant enterococci. Sites of infections included 12 osteomyelitis cases, 10 prosthetic joints, 4 other prostheses, and 1 epidural abscess. Five patients ceased treatment due to side effects. Ten patients were cured of their infections, and 21 patients had infections successfully suppressed.Entities:
