Gram-negative bacteremia. Two cases in adults with chronic otitis media.

Chronic otitis media was the cause of septicemia in two hospitalized men. The organisms involved, K pneumoniae and B fragilis, are not usually associated with primary infections of the middle ear and would not have been traced to this site had proper cultures not been performed. In adults, the true incidence of bacteremia arising from the middle ear may be higher than suspected.

Disseminated Nocardia caviae infection.

Disseminated Nocardia caviae infection occurs only rarely. To date, two cases have been recorded in the literature. We describe a third case of systemic N. caviae infection in a compromised host and compare it with the first two cases. Postmortem, microbiologic and antibiotic sensitivity data are included.

Proteus rettgeri infections: a review.

Proteus rettgeri is an aerobic gram-negative bacillus that displays marked resistance against most of the antibiotics presently available. This organism causes infections usually confined to the urinary tract of certain types of compromised patients. Occasionally, it is recovered from soft tissue abscesses, and rarely from the blood and respiratory tract. Proteus rettgeri is notorious for causing nosocomial outbreaks of urinary tract infections in urological and physical medicine wards. Our experience with a patient who had bacteremia with a multi-drug resistant strain of Proteus rettgeri prompted a review of the literature concerning infections with this organism. The salient features of these reports are discussed and summarized. Data on the antibiotic sensitivity of 15 other strains of Proteus rettgeri are included.
