ABSTRACT
Caulobacter species have been rarely found to be a cause of human infection. A case of probable Caulobacter species meningitis occurring postneurosurgery in a pediatric patient is reported in the present article. Gram stain and colony morphology of the isolate were not consistent with the identification provided by commercial phenotypic identification systems. The present case illustrates the need to reconcile conflicting phenotypic test results using 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing.Caulobacter species have been rarely found to be a cause of human infection.

Les espèces de Caulobacter sont rarement responsables d'infections chez les humains. Les auteurs rendent compte d'un cas probable de méningite à espèces de Caulobacter après une neurochirurgie chez un patient d'âge pédiatrique. La coloration de Gram et la morphologie des colonies de l'isolat ne correspondaient pas aux résultats obtenus par les systèmes de repérage phénotypiques commerciaux. Le présent cas démontre la nécessité de réconcilier les résultats des tests phénotypiques conflictuels au moyen du séquençage d'ADN ribosomique 16S.
