First report of brain abscess caused by a satelliting phenotypic variant of Helcococcus kunzii.

Siddharth Sridhar1, Jasper F W Chan, Kwok-Yung Yuen.   

Abstract

Helcococcus kunzii was isolated from a brain abscess in a diabetic patient with cholesteatoma and demonstrated satellitism around Staphylococcus aureus in culture. This is the first reported case of severe central nervous system infection due to H. kunzii and the first description of a satelliting phenotypic variant of this organism.
