Nosocomial Brevundimonas vesicularis meningitis.
Brevundimonas vesicularis infrequently causes human infections. We describe a case of meningitis due to Brevundimonas vesicularis, resistant to piperacillin, gentamicin and amikacin as well as to cephalosporins, aztreonam, imipenem and meropenem. The meningitis was acquired in hospital by a patient operated for astrocytoma and represents a classical hospital infection.
