Abstract
ABSTRACT We describe a case of bacteremia due to imipenem-susceptible Shewanella algae . Despite treatment with imipenem, the patient developed a spinal epidural abscess, from which imipenem-resistant S. algae was isolated. The development of resistance should be monitored when S. algae infection is treated with imipenem, even though the strain is initially susceptible to imipenem.
