Acute Pediatric Bacterial Meningitis Due to the Rare Isolate, Pseudomonas putida: A Case Report | Chapter 16 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 1

 Acute bacterial meningitis (ABM) is a medical emergency that requires immediate diagnosis and treatment. ABM and its repercussions continue to strike individuals in India, despite the advent of newer, more potent antibiotics, with fatality rates ranging from 16 to 32 percent. The goal of this case report is to describe how Pseudomonas putida was isolated from a sample of cerebrospinal fluid. Apart from that, the author emphasises the need of correctly identifying the organism and, as a result, picking the most appropriate antibiotic from the susceptibility profile to allow for early recovery and improve the patient's outcome and survival.
