Blood culture yield non haemolytic small colonies of 1-2 mm on Blood agar and no growth on MacConkey agar.Based upon the colony characteristics, biochemical reactions, antimicrobial susceptibility pattern and identification by conventional and Vitek 2 Compact system, the isolate was identified as Elizabethkingia meningoseptica which is a rare cause of bacteremia in neonates.
