Persistent Acinetobacter bereziniae Bacteremia in a Pregnant Woman
Background:
Persistent Acinetobacter bereziniae bacteremia in a pregnant woman has not previously been reported.
Methods:
A 25-year-old pregnant Kyrgyz woman developed a fever after McDonald operation. Serial blood cultures were performed.
Results:
Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter was isolated. She was prescribed meropenem. A. bereziniae was successfully identified by MALDI-TOF MS with an updated library, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis supported the result.
Conclusions:
The multidrug-resistant features of A. bereziniae and the therapeutic concentration of antibiotic agents during pregnancy had to be considered in the present case.
