  • Title: Successful treatment of post-neurosurgical intracranial Mycoplasma hominis infection using gatifloxacin.
    Author: McCarthy KL, Looke DF.
    Journal: J Infect; 2008 Oct; 57(4):344-6. PubMed ID: 18708262.
    Abstract:
    We describe two cases of intracerebral infection with Mycoplasma hominis following neurosurgery, the first after removal of a colloid cyst, the other after a craniotomy following a motor vehicle accident (MVA). Both infections were successfully treated with parenteral gatifloxacin, with ongoing clindamycin or moxifloxacin for associated osteomyelitis.
