Abstract
|
|
|
|
Infections associated with Enterococcus durans have been rare in humans until now. E. durans is a frequent component of the intestinal flora of several domestic animal species and may cause septicemia and encephalomalacia in chicks. We report a case of ventriculoperitoneal shunt infection caused by vancomycin-resistant E. durans in a 17-year-old woman with Dandy?Walker syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first human case of ventriculitis caused by vancomycin-resistant E. durans.
