RESUMO

Citrobacter sedlakii was isolated from blood and cerebrospinal fluid cultures of a 5-day-old premature infant with sepsis, meningitis, and brain abscess. This newly described organism was difficult to identify due to discrepancies between the Vitek and API 20E identification systems. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the isolation of C. sedlakii from cerebrospinal fluid.
