The challenge of antibiotic selection in prosthetic joint infections due to Corynebacterium striatum: a case report

Abstract: Background Corynebacterium striatum is a gram-positive facultative anaerobe found in the environment and human flora that has historically been considered a contaminant. More recently, Corynebacterium striatum has been implicated in human infections, including respiratory infections, endocarditis, and bone and joint infections, particularly those involving hardware or implanted devices. Case presentation A 65-year-old man presented for washout of h… Show more

“…was observed in all tested isolates (n = 50) in the study[51]. Te clinical impact of this is well described by Streifel and colleagues in a case report of worsening PJI while on daptomycin, demonstrating MIC creep (0.064 to >256 μg/mL via E-test), requiring another surgery and a change of antibiotic to linezolid[52]. Dalbavancin can be considered as another therapeutic option against C. striatum which has shown a favorable outcome at >1 year in a patient with PJI requiring long-term therapy and encountered side efects with previously administered agents (vancomycin, linezolid, daptomycin), as reported by Söderquist et al[34].…”

“…Its adherence to prosthetic surfaces (both hydrophobic and hydrophilic) has been attributed to the binding of fibrinogen. Recent reports of systemic infections, such as endocarditis, meningitis, osteomyelitis, and respiratory infections, as well as notable pathogens in bone and joint infections (septic arthritis), have been published [2][3] Many laboratories do not routinely identify Corynebacterium species because they are frequently isolated as contaminants. Then their identification in culture is challenging for clinicians.…”
