Multiresistant Elizabethkingia meningoseptica infections in tertiary care

Abstract

Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is an emerging pathogen known to cause meningitis, pneumonia, endocarditis, bacteremia, sepsis, wound, soft tissue, abdominal, respiratory and ocular infections, dialysis associated peritonitis and prosthesis associated septic arthritis; especially in immunodeficient hosts.1,2 It is ubiquitous Gram-negative nonfermenter found in soil, plants, fresh and marine water, food products, hospital environments, chlorinated water and may colonize sinks and taps causing both community and nosocomial infections, though does not constitute human microflora.1 It has many attributes of Gram-positive bacteria which confuse its characterization in routine diagnostic settings. Elizabethkingia is an eponym from its discoverer Elizabeth O. King. Earlier classified under CDC group IIa, Flavobacterium (1959) and Chryseobacterium (1994), it was assigned the genus Elizabethkingia under Flavobacteriaceae family in 2005 based on 16s rRNA phylogenetic studies.3 Few infections of E. meningoseptica have been reported from India. We report four cases of Elizabethkingia meningoseptica from an apex tertiary care setup.
