Non-anthrax Bacillus species are rare, but serious causes of bacterial meningitis in those either immunocompromised or treated with CSF diversion. Although resistant to first-line antibiotics, they usually respond to chloramphenicol. We report a case of fulminant Bacillus cereus meningitis that complicated lumbar spinal drainage which proved resistant to all first-line antibiotics including chloramphenicol.
非炭疽芽孢杆菌属种类罕见，但却是免疫功能低下或接受脑脊液分流治疗者细菌性脑膜炎的严重病因。尽管它们对一线抗生素耐药，但通常对氯霉素有反应。我们报告了一例暴发性蜡样芽孢杆菌脑膜炎病例，该病例因腰椎脊髓引流而并发，对包括氯霉素在内的所有一线抗生素均耐药。
