Dr. Ruchi Kotpal

Abstract :

Post partum period is a state of impaired immunological response predisposing the mother to a variety of nosocomially acquired infections. We report a case of bacteremia due to Elizebethkingia meningoseptica in a 22 year female in her post partum period. Elizebethkingia meneigoseptica is a common contaminant of the hospital environment causing wide spectrum of infections in immunocompromised patients. Isolation and identification of this bacterium is important due to its natural resistance to multiple antibiotics.
