Two cases were commenced in the community in immunocompromised children beyond the newborn period, but both recovered promptly. Another was a hospital-acquired meningitis in a newborn baby who developed neurologic sequelae. In contrast to widespread antimicrobial resistance exhibited by this pathogen, there was good susceptibility to commonly used antimicrobials such as ampicillin, cefotaxime, piperacillin, ciprofloxacin, and vancomycin. Whilst \u00df lactam antibiotics are found effective in the treatment of Elizabethkingia septicaemia of children, piperacillin\u2013tazobactam, vancomycin combination seems effective empiric choice of antibiotics for neonatal meningitis due to Elizabethkingia; there is a need for guidelines for the management of this infection, especially in neonatal meningitis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00494755231180004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,8]],"date-time":"2023-06-08T02:46:40Z","timestamp":1686192400000},"page":"509-511","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["<i>Elizabethkingia meningosepticum<\/i>\n                    infections with varied presentations and different antimicrobial susceptibility \u2013 A case series"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"53","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6913-6692","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chakkiyar","family":"Krishnan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Additional Professor, Department of Pediatrics, Government Medical College, Kozhikode, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3450-455X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Madathil Govindaraj","family":"Geeta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor, Department of Pediatrics, Government Medical College, Kozhikode, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Methele Pangat Balakrishnan","family":"Shabina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Additional Professor, Department of Microbiology, Government Medical College, Kozhikode, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thaliyil Veettil","family":"Rajesh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Additional Professor, Department of Pediatrics, Government Medical College, Kozhikode, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aishwarya","family":"Raj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Senior Resident, Department of Pediatrics, Government Medical College, Kozhikode, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vellani Thamunnu","family":"Ajithkumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor and Head, Department of Pediatrics, Government Medical College, Kozhikode, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00494755231180004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.2.5371.1528-b"},{"key":"bibr2-00494755231180004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005792-199701000-00003"},{"key":"bibr3-00494755231180004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.I.00502"},{"key":"bibr4-00494755231180004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.42.7.3353-3355.2004"},{"key":"bibr5-00494755231180004","first-page":"261","volume":"126","author":"Hawley HB","year":"1973","journal-title":"Am J Dis Child"},{"key":"bibr6-00494755231180004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5005\/jp-journals-10071-23127"},{"key":"bibr7-00494755231180004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5582\/irdr.2018.01077"},{"key":"bibr8-00494755231180004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/AAC.41.6.1301"},{"key":"bibr9-00494755231180004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jac\/dks053"},{"key":"bibr10-00494755231180004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/2278-330X.119912"}],"container-title":["Tropical Doctor"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/00494755231180004","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/00494755231180004","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/00494755231180004","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,1]],"date-time":"2026-05-01T13:35:36Z","timestamp":1777642536000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/00494755231180004"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,7]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/00494755231180004"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/00494755231180004","relation":{},"ISSN":["0049-4755","1758-1133"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0049-4755","type":"print"},{"value":"1758-1133","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,7]]}}}
