Otitis media caused by beta-lactamase-producing Branhamella (Neisseria) catarrhalis. 1981

W S Lee, and T Fordham, and J Alban

A beta-lactamase-producing Branhamella catarrhalis was isolated in pure culture from the right middle ear aspiration of an otitis media in a 3-month-old girl. The patient responded well to cefamandole treatment.
