title: Favorable outcome in cerebral abscesses caused by Citrobacter koseri in a newborn infant.
abstract: The treatment of brain abscesses in newborn infants is controversial. We report on a 6-week-old infant with multiple brain abscesses caused by Citrobacter koseri that resolved after treatment with combined surgical drainage and intravenous therapy with meropenem and fosfomycin.
