Bacteremia caused by Veillonella dispar in an oncological patient. Anaerobe. 2020 Dec;66:102285.http://hdl.handle.net/10668/16451Veillonella dispar is a Gram-negative anaerobic coccus involved in only a few human diseases. We report the second case of bacteremia due to this microorganism in an elderly patient. A 72-year-old man with a history of bladder cancer presented with diarrhea, vomiting, and fever for 48 hours. After the diagnosis of septic shock, four sets of blood cultures were taken, and three of them yielded V. dispar. Resistance to metronidazole, penicillin, and piperacillin-tazobactam was documented. Treatment with clindamycin was started, and the patient was discharged after improvement in his general condition.enAnaerobesGene sequencingMALDI TOF MSVeillonella disparblood CulturesAgedAnti-Bacterial AgentsBacteremiaComorbidityDNA, BacterialDrug Resistance, Multiple, BacterialHumansMaleMicrobial Sensitivity TestsRNA, Ribosomal, 16SUrinary Bladder NeoplasmsVeillonellaresearch article33075505Restricted AccessADN BacterianoARN Ribosómico 16SAntibacterianosBacteriemiaComorbilidadFarmacorresistencia bacterianaMúltipleNeoplasias de la vejiga urinariaVeillonella10.1016/j.anaerobe.2020.1022851095-8274PMC7563575https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anaerobe.2020.102285https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7563575/pdf
