Abstract

Clostridia are rare causes of the central nervous system (CNS) infections in children. We present an unusual case of a successfully treated neonatal meningitis caused by the novel clostridial species, Clostridium neonatale. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report describing neonatal meningitis caused by this bacteria.
