Abstract

Server Yağcı, Şükriye Kürkçüoğlu, Barış Doğan Öztürk, Fatma Şebnem Erdinç, Necla Eren Tulek Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus small colony variants may cause soft tissue infections. However, any case presenting with soft tissue abscess after a fracture surgery is not been reported yet. In this report; a case of methicillin-resistant S.aureus small colony variant that was isolated from a 68-years-old man who has a fracture surgery history and recurrent abscess developing in his left thigh was reported. This variant was recovered from aspiration material of the open wound. Daptomycin was used successfully in the treatment of the bacterial infection which is resistant to rifampin.

Özet

Metisiline dirençli Staphylococcus aureus’un küçük koloni varyantları yumuşak doku enfeksiyonlarına sebep olabilmektedir. Ancak kırık ameliyatı sonrası yumuşak doku apsesi ile seyreden bir olgu henüz rapor edilmemiştir. Bu yazıda; kırık öyküsü olan 68 yaşındaki erkek hastanın sol bacağında gelişen ve tekrarlayan apseden izole edilen metisiline dirençli S. aureus küçük koloni varyantı olgusu sunulmuştur. Bu varyant açık yaradan alınan aspirasyon materyalinden elde edildi. Rifampine dirençli olan bakteri enfeksiyonunun tedavisinde daptomisin başarıyla kullanıldı
