摘要

A case of enterococcal meningitis in a toddler is presented. The organism was highly resistant to all drugs previously used for pediatric Gram-positive meningitis. She was successfully treated with intraventricular and intravenous daptomycin and intravenous tigecycline. The organism was characterized as a member of CC17, a notorious emerging nosocomial clone of Enterococcus faecium.
