Multidrug-Resistant Bacteroides fragilis Bacteremia in a US Resident: An Emerging Challenge

الملخص EN

We describe a case of Bacteroides fragilis bacteremia associated with paraspinal and psoas abscesses in the United States.

Resistance to b-lactam/b-lactamase inhibitors, carbapenems, and metronidazole was encountered despite having a recent travel history to India as the only possible risk factor for multidrug resistance.

Microbiological cure was achieved with linezolid, moxifloxacin, and cefoxitin.
