Neonatal meningitis due to Enterobacter cloacae. 1978

C M Reddy, and L F Willoughby, and S Hara, and E P Crump

Enterobacter species, in recent years, have been divided into E aerogenes, E hafniae, E liquefaciens, and E cloacae. Early reviews of neonatal meningitis include some cases due to Klebsiella-Aerobacter,(1) and recent reviews(2,3) include Enterobacter which did not divide them into species of Enterobacter. Reported here is a case of neonatal meningitis due to a gram-negative organism, Enterobacter cloacae.
