Article Synopsis
- A 70-year-old male with obstructive uropathy developed a catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) caused by the rare bacteria Pseudomonas mendocina after testing positive for COVID-19.
- Urine cultures revealed both P. mendocina and Enterococcus faecalis, prompting an antibiotic regimen change that initially improved the patient's condition, but he was readmitted later for recurring symptoms and complications.
- The case emphasizes the potential link between COVID-19 and increased bacterial infections in patients with pre-existing conditions, highlighting the need for more research on this interaction and careful clinical management.
