Multi-Drug-Resistant Elizabethkingia meningoseptica: A Rare Cause of Late-Onset Sepsis in a Preterm Neonate.

Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is a gram-negative bacillus and is a rare cause of opportunistic infections. Literature shows that this gram-negative bacillus may cause early-onset sepsis in neonates and immunocompromised adults; however, it is a rare cause of late-onset sepsis or meningitis in neonates. We hereby delineate a case of a preterm neonate, born at 35 weeks of gestation, presenting to us on the eleventh day after birth, with fever, tachycardia, and delayed reflexes.
