Abstract
Streptococcus agalactiae
is a well-established cause of neonatal meningitis, whereas
Acinetobacter baumannii
, often seen as a contaminant, has only rarely been reported to cause meningitis without a neurosurgical predisposition. We report of a case of neonatal meningitis in a preterm neonate in which both
S. agalactiae
and
A. baumannii
were considered the pathogens. This case highlights the pathogenicity of
A. baumannii
, and suggests that it may be frequently underestimated.
