Abstract
We report a case of Mycoplasma hominis ventriculitis in a preterm neonate that was successfully identified with 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing and whole genome sequencing after failure to detect the pathogen with conventional diagnostic methods. The infant required doxycycline with subsequent clearance of the infection and no evidence of drug toxicity.Entities:
