Lets talk about #Enterococcus #bacteremia 🧵
2 important species - E.faecalis, E faecium
E.faecium is generally more resistant, but lower risk of endocarditis
E.faecalis, usually S to Ampicillin, but IR to Quinopristin-Dalfopristin

Probiotic associated #Lactobacillus rhamnosus #endocarditis
#Lactobacillus, GI & GU flora commensal, can cause invasive infections such as meningitis, endometritis, peritonitis, pneumonia, bacteraemia and endocarditis. It has been implicated as a causative agent in 0.05-0.4% of all #endocarditis

Let's start off 2020 with some #Bacteremia myth💥!!
Some questions answered here:
Do fevers predict bacteremia?
Can you predict when someone will have an ESBL bacteremia?
I learned a lot preparing this review, I hope you do too

People can be bacteremic from a few mins up to an hour a day! 🤯
Can result from brushing teeth, bowel movements, dental cleaning, colonoscopies, etc
This is classified as transient bacteremia. With normal hosts, this usually does not cause issues
