Abstract:
:We have reported a case of septicemia and meningitis due to alpha-hemolytic Streptococcus in a 5-day-old infant. The microbiologic and clinical characteristics of neonatal infection with this organism lead us to conclude that this bacterium can be pathogenic in the newborn and should not be dismissed as a contaminant.
