This retrospective cohort study was performed to compare clinical outcomes between patients with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia who received an early versus late infectious disease consultation. Early consultation resulted in significantly greater adherence to quality care indicators and shorter hospital stays.

Candida auris, an emerging fungal pathogen with significant morbidity and mortality, can be difficult for health care facilities to identify, isolate, and control. We present our identification and infection control response to Candida auris at a 695-bed academic level I trauma center in Florida.

A 48-year-old man who had returned from Panama 5 weeks prior presented with fever, dysuria, hematuria, flank pain, and suprapubic pain and was found to have a prostatic abscess. Abscess fluid obtained during transurethral drainage grew Burkholderia pseudomallei. Blood cultures remained negative, and imaging did not show any other visceral abscess. This presentation of primary prostatic melioidosis is extremely rare in this region.
