    Author: Evreux F, Delaporte B, Leret N, Buffet-Janvresse C, Morel A.
    Journal: Arch Pediatr; 2007 Apr; 14(4):365-8. PubMed ID: 17337168.
    Abstract:
    A fatal case of meningoencephalitis caused by Bacillus cereus, an uncommon but potential pathogen, resistant to most beta-lactam antibiotics, is described in a 28-day old premature neonate. Difficulties for clinical diagnosis and treatment are discussed. A review of the literature (26 published cases) is given. Early diagnosis of neonatal B. cereus infection is crucial as it leads to a standard treatment including vancomycin.
