Tissierella Praeacuta Bacteremia Secondary to Infected Pseudoarthosis
Abstract
The
gram negative rod shaped bacterium Tissierella praeacuta is rarely
reported in the medical literature, with only a handful of case reports
seen on literature search. We present here a case report of a middle
aged female with a complicated hospital course after right hip fracture
with subsequent right hip open reduction, internal fixation procedure.

cultures isolated T. praeacuta in this patient with the most likely source
being her right pseudarthrosis, which has been associated with the
organism in previous reports. Our patient was successfully managed
with a regimen of piperacillin-tazobactam
