Surgical wound infection caused by a multi drug resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae Serotype 19A after a total coloproctectomy with ileostomy

Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) colonizes asymptomatically the human nasopharynx. This pathogen is responsible for sinusitis, otitis media, pneumonia, bacteremia and meningitis. We report the case of a 35-year-old female patient who developed a surgical wound infection by a multi drug resis...

Sumario:Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) colonizes asymptomatically the human nasopharynx. This pathogen is responsible for sinusitis, otitis media, pneumonia, bacteremia and meningitis. We report the case of a 35-year-old female patient who developed a surgical wound infection by a multi drug resistant S. pneumoniae serotype 19A after a total coloprotectomy. This first found in Morocco shows the implication of multidrug resistant S. pneumoniae in surgical wound infections.
