Next up: DOTS trial studying dalbavancin vs SOC for SAB (33% MRSA). Primary outcome DOOR at day 70, designed as superiority analysis. Good mix of infection sources including endovascular. @ESCMID #ESCMIDGlobal2024

"... isolation of C. tuberculostearicum from human clinical samples is underreported since this species is not included in the API Coryne database and is therefore systematically misidentified as other lipophilic corynebacteria such as C. macginleyi or C. jeikeium." – at San Antonio, TX

Currently, MALDI-TOF/ 16 s-RNA sequencing helps identify this organism. As this is skin flora, interpretation of pathogenicity/ role in disease process is carefully interpreted. Our patient is receiving Dalbavancin for vertebral osteo treatment targeting this organism. – at San Antonio, TX
