A Case of Trueperella bernardiae Bacteremia due to a PICC-Associated Infection in a Paraplegic Patient
Carter Chapman, Jacob Nichols- General Medicine
Trueperella bernardiae is a Gram-positive bacterium known to cause a wide variety of opportunistic infections in humans. We report a novel case of T. bernardiae bacteremia in a paraplegic patient due to a peripherally inserted central catheter- (PICC-) associated infection that was treated successfully with piperacillin/tazobactam.
