Elizabethkingia meningosepticum (Chryseobacterium meningosepticum) Infections in Children
Chryseobacterium meningosepticum is a ubiquitous Gram-negative bacillus historically associated primarily with meningitis in neonates and a wide variety of infections in immunocompromised patients. Neonatal infections often occur as outbreaks with environmental contamination being the source. C. meningosepticum infections are not common but are clinically important because the organism is natur...

As primarily opportunistic pathogens, they majorly cause meningitis in premature and newborn infants and rarely cause pneumonia, endocarditis, and meningitis in immunocompromised adults (1). Here we describe an adult patient with an E. meningosepticum endocarditis who had no underlying diseases. To the...
متن کاملNeonatal Meningitis by Multidrug Resistant Elizabethkingia meningosepticum Identified by 16S Ribosomal RNA Gene Sequencing
Clinical and microbiological profile of 9 neonates with meningitis by Elizabethkingia meningosepticum identified by 16S ribosomal gene sequencing was studied. All the clinical isolates were resistant to cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, β -lactam combinations, carbapenems and only one isolate was susceptible to ciprofloxacin. All the isolates were susceptible to va...
متن کاملElizabethkingia meningosepticum in a Patient with Six-Year Bilateral Perma-Catheters
Elizabethkingia meningosepticum (EM) is a saprophyte which is ubiquitous in nature, but not normally present in the human flora. Instances of infection are rare in the USA, but EM may be an emerging pathogen among immune-compromised patients. EM can cause a variety of infections, but nosocomial pneumonia and bacteremia have been the most commonly reported among immune-compromised adults. EM has...
