Abstract

Bacteria of the genus Granulicatella adiacens, called nutritional variant streptococci (NVS), are a member of the oral cavity, urogenital and gastrointestinal system flora and are difficult to produce by standard laboratory techniques. Therefore, it is rarely isolated. It is mostly seen in infective endocarditis and bacteremia cases. In addition, it has been reported that sepsis, septic arthritis, prosthesis infection, brain abscess, osteomyelitis developed due to G. adiacens. Among the causative agents of acute bacterial meningitis in adults, the most common agents are S. pneumoniae, N. meningitidis, L. monocytogenes, H. influenzae, and it has been stated that bacteria other than these agents may be causative agents (13%). In this study, a case of meningitis due to G. adiacens is presented.

Özet

Nutrisyonel varyant streptokok (NVS) olarak adlandırılan Granulicatella adiacens cinsi bakteriler oral kavite, ürogenital ve gastrointestinal sistem florasının bir üyesidir ve standart laboratuvar teknikleriyle üretilmeleri zordur. Bu nedenle nadiren izole edilir. Daha çok infektif endokardit ve bakteriyemi vakalarında görülür. Ayrıca, yapılan çalışmalarda G. adiacens’e bağlı sepsis, septik artrit, protez infeksiyonu, beyin apsesi, osteomyelit geliştiği bildirilmiştir. Erişkinlerde akut bakteriyel menenjit etkenleri arasında sık görülen etkenler S. pneumoniae, N. meningitidis, L. monocytogenes, H. influenzae olup, bu etkenler dışındaki bakterilerin de azımsanmayacak oranda (%13) etken olabileceği belirtilmiştir. Bu çalışmada G. adiacens’e bağlı bir menenjit olgusu sunulmaktadır.
