Abstract EN
We report a case of a 12-day-old term neonate with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli (E.
coli) meningitis and cerebral abscess.
The patient received a 7-day course of antibiotics just few days prior to the infection.
The incidence of infections from ESBL-producing E.
coli is increasingly emerging.
Antimicrobial agents must be vigilantly utilized to prevent the new highly resistant bacteria.
