A 69-year-old male was admitted to Ehime University Hospital with bicytopenia. He was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and was administered chemotherapy. He was a multimorbid patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), type 2 diabetes, and Sweet's disease resulting in a skin rash. The patient was treated with oral prednisolone for Sweet's syndrome, and cefepime infusions for pneumonia that arose during the first course of chemotherapy. Both of these complications were almost recovered on physical and image findings. During the second course of chemotherapy, he developed Kytococcus schroeteri bacteremia that was successfully treated with linezolid and meropenem infusions, but he died owing to Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteremia that occurred 6 h after the K. schroeteri bacteremia. Postmortem microbiology (PMM) proved his reservoir of S. maltophilia bacteremia as pneumonia. There are only 20 reports of K. schroeteri bacteremia in the Medline database. According to our knowledge, this is the first case that developed K. schroeteri and S. maltophilia bacteremia sequentially. In addition, this case highlights the importance of PMM in improving treatment of infectious diseases.

This study was undertaken in order to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions by the Department of Infection Control and Prevention in promoting the proper use of antibiotic drugs for methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) prescribed to inpatients.We performed 3 interventions : 1.Protocol improvement for anti-MRSA drug use ; 2.Change in alcohol-based handrub and training in hand hygiene and 3.Devised reporting system for drug use.The effects of the interventions were determined by segmented regression analysis of interrupted time series for drug usage and cost before and after the interventions were commenced.The change in slope of drug use was -1.05 vials/1000 inpatients per month (95% Confidence interval (C.I.) -2.84,0.74)and the change in level was -8.21 vials/1000 inpatients (95% C.I.-14.67,-1.75).There was a significant decrease in the ratio of the patients receiving anti-MRSA drugs to MRSA incidence between before and after the interventions.These results suggested that usage of anti-MRSA drugs was immediately reduced by the interventions to promote the proper use of drugs.An ordinary estimate of reduction in costs was ¥29 million per year while a more conservative estimate produced a decrease of ¥20 million per year.These findings suggest that monitoring antimicrobial use and promoting the proper use of antibiotics for MRSA are important roles for pharmacists to perform.
