The clinical and microbiological features of a case of meningitis, due to an alkali-producing pseudomonad which closely resembles Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes, are described. A respiratory infection and a course of antibiotic therapy before admission to hospital may have been predisposing factors to opportunistic infection by this normally saprophytic organism. The problems of identifying alkali-producing pseudomonads are discussed.
本文描述了一例由一种与产碱假单胞菌极为相似的产碱假单胞菌引起的脑膜炎病例的临床和微生物学特征。入院前的呼吸道感染及抗生素治疗过程可能是这种通常为腐生菌的微生物发生机会性感染的易感因素。文中还讨论了产碱假单胞菌的鉴定问题。
