Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales are being reported increasingly and cause nosocomial infections, which may include postoperative mediastinitis. This paper reports a case of postoperative mediastinitis caused by an Escherichia coli NDM-1 carbapenemase producer in a 13-month-old boy with DiGeorge syndrome. The infection was managed with surgical debridement and antibiotherapy with aztreonam, ceftazidime-avibactam and IV fosfomycin for 6 weeks. The evolution was favourable, without relapse over 10 weeks of follow-up.
