ABSTRACT
Mycobacterium sherrisii is a recently described mycobacterium closely related to Mycobacterium simiae. There have been only a few reports of this organism causing disease, predominantly in the setting of HIV with severe immunosuppression. We report the first case of disseminated M. sherrisii associated with immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome.

ABSTRACT
Infections with vancomycin-resistant Enterococci cause significant morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients, including transplant recipients. We report the successful use of oral linezolid to treat a case of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium endocarditis in a renal transplant recipient with human immunodeficiency virus infection.
