Caulobacter Species as a Cause of Postneurosurgical Bacterial Meningitis in a Pediatric Patient

Caulobacter species have been rarely found to be a cause of human infection. A case of probable Caulobacter species meningitis occurring postneurosurgery in a pediatric patient is reported in the present article. Gram stain and colony morphology of the isolate were not consistent with the identifica...
