Abstract 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.
