First case of human infection due to Pseudomonas fulva, an environmental bacterium isolated from cerebrospinal fluid.
We report the first case of human infection due to Pseudomonas fulva. P. fulva caused acute meningitis following the placement of a drainage system in a 2-year-old female. Additionally, the isolate displayed a VIM-2 carbapenemase in a class 1 integron context.
