Abstract | Chryseobacterium indologenes is considered as an emerging pathogen known to cause pneumonia, bacteremia, and meningitis in children. It has been reported previously, mainly from the Indian subcontinent, as a rare cause of early-onset neonatal infection, mostly affecting preterm infants. We report the first case in the United Kingdom in which C. indologenes was isolated from the blood culture of a term infant who was clinically suspected of having early-onset neonatal sepsis. Our case had a good outcome, but mortality has been reported in published literature. A positive neonatal blood culture of C. indologenes should not automatically be considered as a contaminant; and a joint discussion between neonatologists and microbiologists should determine the appropriate management and antibiotic regimen. Key Words: Early-onset neonatal sepsis, Bacteremia, Chryseobacterium indologenes, Contaminant, Antibiotics. |
