作者： G. E. Bignardi , D. Isaacs
关键词:
摘要: A baby girl became ill 2 days after a normal delivery. Streptococcus mitis was isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid, and she recovered uneventfully on treatment with penicillin and, for first days, netilmicin. The organism penicillin-tolerant in vitro. Non-groupable alpha-hemolytic streptococci are an uncommon cause of meningitis; three cases have been ascribed to S. mitis.
