Abstract:
Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. pasteurianus is an unusual pathogen in infants, which causes sepsis and meningitis. We describe the clinical course and treatment of 15 infants with bacteremia and/or meningitis due to S. gallolyticus. Outcomes were favorable with limited neuroimaging findings. One-third of isolates displayed reduced susceptibility to penicillin highlighting the importance of performing antimicrobial susceptibility testing in infants with meningitis.
摘要:
溶胆链球菌亚种。巴氏菌是婴儿中一种不常见的病原体,导致败血症和脑膜炎.我们描述了15例由于胆溶链球菌引起的菌血症和/或脑膜炎的婴儿的临床过程和治疗。神经影像学检查结果有限,结果良好。三分之一的分离株显示对青霉素的敏感性降低,这突显了在脑膜炎婴儿中进行抗菌药物敏感性测试的重要性。
