title: Acinetobacter meningitis.
abstract: 10,468 CSF samples from cases of meningitis in different age groups were cultured during 1988-1991. Acinetobacter calcoaceticus was isolated in 12 (5.6%) of 211 positive cultures. The strain were 100% resistant to ampicillin, cotrimoxazole and tetracycline 50% resistant to cephazolin gentamicin and kanamycin but 100% susceptible to chloramphenicol.
