Polymicrobial Anaerobic Meningitis Caused By Bacteroides Fragilis, Bacteroides Thetaiotaomicron, Fusobacterium Necrophorum And Slackia Exigua In A Patient With Mastoiditis Following Otitis Media. Anaerobe. 2019 Feb 14;: Authors: Kalay GN, Dalgic N, Bozan T, Ulger-Toprak N, Bayraktar B, Soyletir G Abstract We have reported a case of mastoiditis which progressed to meningitis in a 16-year old male patient. CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) anaerobic culture revealed four species of isolated anaerobic bacteria. This is the first case in the literature in which a patient survived childhood polymicrobial anaerobic meningitis diagnosed by MALDI-TOF MS (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization - Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry) .
