We report the first case of neonatal septicaemia and meningitis in Trinidad due to Listeria three days after blood transfusion. It is important to be aware of the organism in foods and patients. Modern methods of isolation and identification will be of invaluable assistance in future recognition of the organism.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which causes the sexually transmitted infection gonorrhea and Neisseria meningitidis, a leading cause of bacterial meningitis and septicemia, are closely related human-restricted pathogens that inhabit distinct primary mucosal niches. While successful vaccines against invasive meningococcal disease have been available for decades, the rapid rise in antibiotic resistance has led to an urgent need to develop an effective gonococcal vaccine. Several surface antigens are shared among these two pathogens, making cross-species protection an exciting prospect.

Introduction: is a formidable pathogen that poses a significant threat to immunocompromised and might cause rare atypical forms of the disease especially complicated with coinfection.
Case: We present a case of a patient with meningoencephalitis, endocarditis, sepsis, and osteomyelitis, highlighting the complexities of managing disseminated polymicrobial infection. A 64-year-old female with multiple myeloma treated with chemotherapy presented with fever, altered mental status, nausea, and diarrhea to the emergency department.
Case report: an infant with late-onset meningitis caused by Escherichia coli.

Background: Meningitis is highly prevalent in infant because their immune system is immature and they have less resistance to diseases. Among bacterial agents, is recognized as one of the most important causes of meningitis in infants.
Case Presentation: Herein, we report a case of late-onset meningitis, caused by (Patient:17-day-old female infant).
Background: Group B streptococcus (GBS) causes neonatal invasive disease, mainly sepsis and meningitis. Understanding the clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, and antibiotic resistance patterns of GBS invasive infections provides reliable epidemiological data for preventing and treating GBS infections.
Methods: Clinical characteristics and laboratory test results from 86 patients with neonatal invasive disease (45 cases of early-onset disease [EOD] and 41 cases of late-onset disease [LOD]) recruited from Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital between January 2012 and December 2021 were analyzed.
