    Enterococcus can be a primary cause of pelvic infections, particularly after cesarean sections. This finding highlights the need for specific antibiotic treatments due to unique enterococcal resistance patterns.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • The role of enterococci in pelvic infections remains debated.
    • Pelvic infections can arise from various bacterial sources.

    Observation:

    • A case of a pure enterococcal abscess was observed following a cesarean section.
    • This represents a rare instance of a single organism causing a significant post-operative complication.

    Findings:

    • The case supports enterococcus as a potential primary pathogen in obstetric and gynecologic infections.
    • Enterococcus exhibited an unusual antibiotic sensitivity pattern in this case.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering enterococcus in the differential diagnosis of post-cesarean pelvic infections.
