Persistent <i>Burkholderia cepacia</i> Bacteremia in Reconstructive Surgery: Resistance to Ceftazidime/Avibactam and Co‐Trimoxazole With Risk of Infective Endocarditis—A Case Report
Persistent <i>Burkholderia cepacia</i> bacteremia in soft tissue infections creates diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its resistance profile and potential for endovascular involvement. Early culture-guided therapy, multidisciplinary coordination, and vigilance for complications, such as infective endocarditis, are essential for achieving favorable outcomes in reconstructive surgical settings.
