title: 'Leptotrichia amnionii', a newly reported cause of early onset neonatal meningitis.
abstract: 'Leptotrichia amnionii' is an underestimated fastidious inhabitant of the vaginal flora that can cause upper genital tract infections when predisposing factors are present. We describe here what is believed to be the first reported case of early onset meningitis due to 'L. amnionii' in a neonate with intrauterine growth retardation. The outcome was favourable after cefotaxime treatment.
