Study Overview
Brief Summary
Mycobacterium chimaera infections have occurred in post-cardiac surgery patients in association with contaminated cardiac bypass heater-cooler devices.
So far optimal therapeutical concepts are not clear. At the University Hospital Basel Mycobacterium chimaera- infected protheses are replaced to decrease pathogenic burden and to support antibiotic long- term treatment. This study is to analyze the efficacy of this therapeutic approach.
