Snippet: Coagulase-positive Staphylococci, if isolated from urinary tract of ill patient, should raise clinical suspicion of a potential concordant bloodstream infection. Due to a high discordance rate, in particular, blood cultures should be performed in any potentially septic animal who is immunosuppressed. Bacteriuria is neither a substitute nor a screen for bacteremia, and in fact, based off of our calculated false negative rate, treatment of urinary .....
Document: Coagulase-positive Staphylococci, if isolated from urinary tract of ill patient, should raise clinical suspicion of a potential concordant bloodstream infection. Due to a high discordance rate, in particular, blood cultures should be performed in any potentially septic animal who is immunosuppressed. Bacteriuria is neither a substitute nor a screen for bacteremia, and in fact, based off of our calculated false negative rate, treatment of urinary tract pathogens in likely bacteremic animals would lead to treatment for the incorrect bloodstream pathogen 76% of the time. Though urine cultures are encouraged as part of a complete diagnostic workup, they do not substitute for blood cultures.
