Clostridium perfingens bloodstream infections (BSIs) can be associated with high mortality rates. We performed a subanalysis of all C. perfringens BSIs enrolled during a multicentric retrospective observational study (ITANAEROBY). Data were collected from January 2016 to December 2020. C. perfringens BSIs were 134 (134/1960, 6.8 %). The highest resistance rate was observed for clindamycin (26/120, 21.6 %), penicillin (11/71, 15.4 %) and metronidazole (14/131, 10.7 %). In conclusion, C. perfringens reduced susceptibility phenotype to first-line therapy.

Abstract
Clostridium perfingens bloodstream infections (BSIs) can be associated with high mortality rates. We performed a subanalysis of all C. perfringens BSIs enrolled during a multicentric retrospective observational study (ITANAEROBY). Data were collected from January 2016 to December 2020. C. perfringens BSIs were 134 (134/1960, 6.8 %). The highest resistance rate was observed for clindamycin (26/120, 21.6 %), penicillin (11/71, 15.4 %) and metronidazole (14/131, 10.7 %). In conclusion, C. perfringens reduced susceptibility phenotype to first-line therapy.File in questo prodotto:
