Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is a Gram-negative, nonfermenting, multidrug-resistant organism emerging as a cause of nosocomial infections. We report a case of bacteremia caused by E . meningoseptica in a patient who underwent Bentall surgery and subsequently developed bacteremia resistant to empirical treatment. This case highlights the importance of timely identification and targeted treatment for this emerging pathogen.
