A case of meningitis in a neonate caused by vancomycin-resistant Leuconostoc mesenteroides is presented. This case was complicated by severe ventriculitis and was ultimately fatal. Infection with Leuconostoc spp. is rare but should be suspected when vancomycin-resistant organisms resembling streptococci are isolated. Previous reports of this infection are reviewed.
本文报告了1例由耐万古霉素的肠系膜明串珠菌引起的新生儿脑膜炎病例。该病例并发严重脑室炎，最终死亡。明串珠菌属感染罕见，但当分离出类似链球菌的耐万古霉素菌株时应予以怀疑。本文回顾了此前关于这种感染的报道。
