title: First case of human infection due to Pseudomonas fulva, an environmental bacterium isolated from cerebrospinal fluid.
abstract: 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.
