dc.description.abstractChryseobacterium indologenes organism is mostly confined to water and soil and has been isolated from patients in hospitals with severe underlying disease with indwelling devices and implants. Despite its low virulence, it has been found to be inherently resistant to many antibiotics. A rare case of meningitis was reported by C. indologenes in an 18-year-old patient treated for hydrocephalous with meningitis with an indwelling ventriculoperitoneal shunt, who was successfully managed with levofloxacin and gentamicin and discharged. This case report describes identification and isolation of C. indologenes on the basis of biochemical and microbiological analysis along with clinical signs and symptoms of meningitis with an indwelling ventriculoperitoneal shunt.en_US
