Emergence of Neonatal Meningitis and Septicaemia: A Case Report on Elizabethkingia Meningoseptica Infection

[...]treatment strategies often rely on antibiotic susceptibility testing to guide appropriate therapy. Previous research has suggested additional infection control measures, including the use of alcoholic hand rubs post-handwashing, using sterile water for infant toileting instead of tap water, and implementing maintenance procedures like repairing, cleaning, super chlorinating, and isolating water tanks from hospital feeder tanks, as well as replacing sink taps. Proactive infection control measures within hospital environments, especially concerning water sources, are essential for curbing potential epidemics associated with Elizabethkingia meningoseptica.
