The risk of nosocomial infection with multidrug-resistant corynebacterium urealyticum after prostate cancer surgery

Corynebacterium urealyticum is a Gram-positive, lipophilic, multidrug resistant, and urease positive microorganism with diph-theroid morphology. C. urealyticum causes several diseases such as urinary tract infection, chronic urological disease, urinary tract infections, and bacteremia in immunocompromised individuals. This study reports a rare case with nosocomial infection and hematuria caused by multidrug-resistant C. urealyticum after prostate cancer surgery. © 2019, Archives of Clinical Infectious Diseases
