Abstract

Abstract: Campylobacter coli is a major pathogen rarely responsible for extra-intestinal infections. We report a case of Campylobacter coli bacteremia and meningitis in a 57-year-old immunocompetent Belgian man. The strain, isolated from cerebrospinal fluid, belonged to the unusual sequence type 8418 (ST8418). The patient fully recovered after meropenem treatment.
