  • Title: Bacillus cereus meningitis complicating cerebrospinal fluid fistula repair and spinal drainage.
    Author: Marshman LA, Hardwidge C, Donaldson PM.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 2000 Dec; 14(6):580-2. PubMed ID: 11272043.
    Abstract:
    Non-anthrax Bacillus species are rare, but serious causes of bacterial meningitis in those either immunocompromised or treated with CSF diversion. Although resistant to first-line antibiotics, they usually respond to chloramphenicol. We report a case of fulminant Bacillus cereus meningitis that complicated lumbar spinal drainage which proved resistant to all first-line antibiotics including chloramphenicol.
