We describe the case of an adult male with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who had meningitis caused by Citrobacter farmeri. The isolate was confirmed as C. farmeri by two commercial identification systems and 16S rRNA gene analysis. The patient developed multiorgan failure and died despite antibiotic treatment with in vitro active agents (ceftriaxone and meropenem).
我们描述了一例患有鼻咽癌的成年男性患者,其患有由费氏柠檬酸杆菌引起的脑膜炎。该分离株通过两种商业鉴定系统和 16S rRNA 基因分析确认为费氏柠檬酸杆菌。尽管使用体外活性药物(头孢曲松和美罗培南)进行了抗生素治疗,患者仍发展为多器官衰竭并死亡。
