Concordance of Results of Blood and Tissue Cultures from Patients with Pyogenic Spondylitis

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the concordance of results of blood and tissue cultures in patients with pyogenic spondylitis. METHODS: We searched the patients with pyogenic spondylitis in whom micro-organisms were isolated from both blood and tissue cultures by retrospective r...

description BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the concordance of results of blood and tissue cultures in patients with pyogenic spondylitis. METHODS: We searched the patients with pyogenic spondylitis in whom micro-organisms were isolated from both blood and tissue cultures by retrospective review of medical records in three tertiary university-affiliated hospitals between January 2005 and December 2015. The species and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of isolates from blood and tissue cultures were compared with each other. RESULTS: Among 141 patients with pyogenic spondylitis in whom micro-organisms were isolated from both blood and tissue cultures, the species of blood and tissue isolates were identical in 135 patients (95.7%, 135/141). Excluding the four anaerobic isolates, we investigated antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of 131 isolates of same species from blood and tissue cultures. Antibiotic susceptibility patterns were identical in 128 patients (97.7%, 128/131). The most common isolates were Staphylococcus aureus (86 patients; 85 concordant and 1 discordant), followed by streptococcus (24 patients; 22 concordant and 2 discordant), and Escherichia coli (8 patients; all concordant). CONCLUSION: We suggest that a positive blood culture from patients with pyogenic spondylitis could preclude the need for additional tissue cultures, especially when S. aureus and streptococcus grew in blood cultures.
