PATHOGENS
Not an all-inclusive list:
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Coagulase negative Staphylococci
- Gram-negative bacteria, e.g., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli
- Salmonella spp.
- Streptococci and enterococci
- Anaerobes are rarely associated, more frequently with aortic grafts (and polymicrobial)
- Intracellular and/or fastidious microorganisms (Coxiella burnetii, Treponema pallidum)
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis and rapidly growing Mycobacteria are rarely involved (M. abscessus, M. fortuitum, M. chelonae, M. smegmatis, and M. mucogenicum) but are associated with high morbidity and mortality rate
- Candida vascular graft infections are rare but, when present, are associated with high morbidity and mortality
- Distribution of prosthetic vascular graft infection pathogens:
- Staphylococci: ~35% of infections; S. aureus more likely early and coagulase-negative staphylococci more likely to cause late infections
- Polymicrobial: ~25%
