| Summary: | Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is a Gram-negative non-fermenenting bacterium widely distributed in nature and in hospital environment. In this paper we report on a case of Elizabethkingia meningoseptica isolation from a throat swab sample in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia. The isolate was identified as Elizabethkingia meningoseptica by Vitek 2 system (Bio-Merieux, France). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed sensitivity to ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and cefoperazone/sulbactam and resistance to amikacin, gentamicin, tobramycin, ceftazidime, colistin and cefepim. |
