| Abstrakt: | Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming, gram-positive bacterium that is ubiquitous in the environment. Central nervous system involvement with B. cereus is rare. Despite aggressive treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics and using them appropriately, the mortality is high. A 72-year-old patient suffered a central nervous system infection associated with postsurgical meningitis and was successfully treated with a novel antibiotic therapy. This study includes the first case report of postsurgical B. cereus meningitis in the last ten years. It provides a different line of treatment to the previous ones. |
