description Background : The pathogenicity of Enterococcus in polymicrobial surgical infections is controversial. The objective of this analysis was two-fold. The impact of Enterococcus on clinical outcome was assessed in adults with complicated intra-abdominal (IAI), complicated skin and skin structure (CSSSI), or acute pelvic (PI) infection treated with ertapenem or piperacillin-tazobactam, which is more active in vitro against enterococci than ertapenem. Baseline characteristics were identified that were associated with Enterococcus infection and with treatment failure. Methods : This analysis included 1,558 patients treated in three randomized, triple-blind studies. Of these patients, 223 had Enterococcus in initial cultures: 125 of 623 (20%) with IAI, 28 of 529 (5%) with CSSSI, and 70 of 406 (17%) with PI. Logistic regression models were fit to assess each objective. Results : The cure rates for the two treatment groups were similar in each of the three studies, regardless of the presence or absence of Enterococcus . Cure rates for both treatment groups combined were significantly lower in patients with Enterococcus than without Enterococcus for IAI (76% [69/91] versus 87% [264/305], OR 2.3 [95% CI, 1.2-4.1], P = 0.009) and CSSSI (58% [11/19] versus 84% [241/287], OR 3.8 [95% CI, 1.5-10.0], P = 0.010); but for PI, rates were similar (96% [50/52] versus 92% [188/205], OR 0.4 [95% CI, 0.1-1.9], P = 0.220). Characteristics predictive of the presence of Enterococcus were Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a baseline pathogen for IAI, older age, and the presence of a complicating underlying disease for CSSSI, and infection severity rated moderate rather than severe for PI. The strongest predictors of treatment failure were >2 days postoperative infection at study entry for patients with IAI and older age for patients with CSSSI. Conclusion : Choice of antimicrobial therapy did not affect cure rates in patients with or without Enterococcus . The strongest predictors of failure were postoperative infection at study entry in patients with IAI and older age in patients with CSSSI.
