  • Title: Brain abscess due to penicillin- and clindamycin-resistant Bacteroides melaninogenicus.
    Author: Villar LA, Massanari RM, Koontz FP.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1983 Dec; 20(6):453-5. PubMed ID: 6139884.
    Abstract:
    The case of a patient with severe anaerobic infection, a brain abscess, is presented. The causative organism was a penicillinase-producing, clindamycin-resistant strain of Bacteroides melaninogenicus. Treatment with adequate doses of penicillin G failed. Findings in this case suggest caution when basing therapy on the untested assumption that B. melaninogenicus is routinely susceptible to penicillin and clindamycin therapy.
