Abstract
We describe the case of an adult male with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who had meningitis caused by Citrobacter farmeri. The isolate was confirmed as C. farmeri by two commercial identification systems and 16S rRNA gene analysis. The patient developed multiorgan failure and died despite antibiotic treatment with in vitro active agents (ceftriaxone and meropenem).Entities:
