A case of acute cholecystitis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in an immunocompromised patient.

Joseph Kim¹, Daniel B Gregson, Deirdre L Church.

Abstract

Although infections with Staphylococcus aureus can implicate multiple organ systems, involvement of the biliary tract is rare. A case of acute cholecystitis and bacteremia with methicillin-resistant S aureus (MRSA) in a patient with HIV infection is presented. The MRSA isolate was found to be a community-associated strain. The present case highlights the invasive nature of staphylococcal infections and the emerging importance of community-associated MRSA strains.
