A Turtle Disaster: Salmonella Enteritidis Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Device Infection


 Cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) infections have a high mortality and morbidity. CIED infections secondary to gram-negative pathogens are rare, and there is minimal data regarding their treatment. We report a case of a 60-year-old male who developed recurrent Salmonella enteritidis bacteremia leading to CIED infection and non-susceptibility to ciprofloxacin.
