We report a case of pyelonephritis caused by Verona integron-encoded metallo-β-lactamase (VIM)-producing in a 23-year-old female who presented from the community with flank pain and fever, and whose urine culture confirmed the presence of VIM-positive . Treatment with ceftazidime-avibactam resulted in a favorable outcome. This case highlights the emerging threat of carbapenem-resistant (CRPA) infections and the effectiveness of ceftazidime-avibactam.
我们报告了一例由产 Verona 整合子编码金属β-内酰胺酶(VIM)的细菌引起的肾盂肾炎病例,患者为一名 23 岁女性,因社区获得性胁腹痛和发热就诊,其尿培养证实存在 VIM 阳性细菌。使用头孢他啶-阿维巴坦治疗取得了良好效果。该病例凸显了耐碳青霉烯类肺炎克雷伯菌(CRPA)感染的新威胁以及头孢他啶-阿维巴坦的有效性。
