Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify new prognostic factors that could predict outcomes in Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis (SaIE), which has a high mortality rate.
- Researchers reviewed medical records of 30 patients and found 56 candidate prognostic factors, ultimately narrowing it down to three significant factors: prior use of NSAIDs, non-performance of valve surgery when needed, and decrease in vegetation size on antibiotic treatment.
- If confirmed in further studies, these factors could enhance patient management and potentially lower the lethality associated with SaIE.
Dialister pneumosintes is an obligate anaerobic Gram-negative rod associated with infections of the oral cavity. We report on a previously healthy, 51-year-old woman who presented with a liver abscess caused by Dialister pneumosintes as a complication of a dental abscess. The microorganism was identified by using a broad-range bacterial 16S rRNA gene PCR in the liver exudate.
