Aortic Prosthesis-Associated MDR Pseudomonas Infections as a Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge

Endovascular prostheses are used to treat life-threatening conditions such as ruptured aortic aneurysms. Prosthetic infection cause significant morbidity and mortality, posing important diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. It is particularly difficult to diagnose and, in the era of multidrug resistance (MDR), these type of infections may become even more difficult to treat. Herein, we reported a case of a secondary prosthetic endovascular infection following repeated bacteremia episodes from a urinary source. This case illustrates an MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa aortic infection that was difficult to diagnose with no oral antibiotic treatment options.

Results of the Proliferative Activity’s Analysis of Bifidobacterium Exometabolites in Regard to Hospital Isolates from Patients after Vascular Synthetic Prosthetics Implantation

Problems ofdevelopment of purulent septic complications in vascular surgery during the usage of synthetic prosthetics for shunting and arterial prosthetics are described in this work.Leading factors of development of prosthetic infection are described. Specialties of diagnostics and bacteriological researches wound discharge of wound’s discharge are shown. Tactics of complex treatment of patients with prosthetic infection are presented. This work is dedicated to the experimental researchof proliferative activityof the most encountered opportunistic microorganisms found from the patients of vascular surgery profile with purulent septical complications under the influence of bifidobacteriumbifidium’sexometabolites. Presented results proof the submission of proliferative activity of the most widespread antibiotic-resistant hospital’s isolates under the influence of bifidobacteriumbifidium’sexometabolites.Evaluation during the experiment in vitro of the influence of bifidobacteriumbifidium’sexometabolites on proliferative activityof opportunistic microorganisms.
