Özet

Lactobacillus casei is a probiotic bacteria found in the human mouth and intestine. These microorganisms, which are known to be effective in controlling oral infections and in the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, rarely cause infection in healthy people. Here, Lactobacillus casei was observed in the cerebrospinal fluid culture of a child who was hospitalized in the intensive care unit. In cases with gastrostomy and recurrent meningitis, Lactobacillus casei should be considered as a pathogenic cause.
