RESUMEN
Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is an uncommonly encountered multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacterium that causes infections primarily among vulnerable hosts. A true opportunistic pathogen, its ability to cause severe sepsis and complicated infection in selected patients has been noted. Very limited preclinical and clinical data exist with regard to suitable therapeutic options. In this study, we present the case of prolonged bloodstream and central nervous system infection due to E. meningoseptica treated with dose-optimized combination antibiotic therapy, with evidence of microbiological (including development of adaptive resistance mechanisms) and clinical failure.
