OBJECTIVES: Differences in management and outcomes of brain abscesses due to gram-positive (GPB) versus gram-negative bacteria (GNB) are not well defined.
METHODS: A retrospective review of adult patients with brain abscesses due to monomicrobial infection from 2009 through 2020 was performed.
RESULTS: A total 177 patients had a monomicrobial brain abscess; 143 (80.8%) caused by GPB and 34 (19.2%) by GNB. Patients with GNB had more history of head/neck surgery than those with GPB (58.8% vs 36.4%; P = 0.02). Pathogens in the GNB group included Pseudomonas aeruginosa (29.4%), Klebsiella spp (20.6%), and Enterobacter spp (20.6%). Pathogens in the GPB group included Staphylococcus aureus (32.2%) and Streptococcus spp (31.5%). Most patients had combined medical/surgical management (64.7% GNB vs 63.6% GPB). The median duration of antibiotic therapy was 42 days, and there was no significant difference in infection relapse or 3-month survival rate. Patients with GNB were more likely to have therapeutic failure than those with GPB (44.1% vs 22.4%; P = 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with brain abscesses caused by GPB, those due to GNB were more likely to occur in patients who had undergone prior head and neck surgery . No statistically significant difference in outcomes was observed between the groups; however, patients with GNB had a higher therapeutic failure rate than those with GPB.
