Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacillus found in the environment. It is an important hospital-acquired bacterium, mainly affecting newborn and immunocompromised patients. It is naturally resistant to many standard antibiotics, making it difficult to choose the right probabilistic antibiotic therapy. We report the first case of E. meningoseptica bacteremia in a newborn in a tertiary care university hospital in Burkina Faso, with the aim of raising awareness among practitioners to reduce morbidity and mortality attributable to infections caused by this emerging bacterium.
