Abstract
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a less frequently reported pathogen associated with meningitis but it's involvement cannot be ignored in nosocomial settings, especially post interventional procedures. Managing these cases is difficult, owing to the organism's intrinsic resistance to large number of antibiotics. Here, we report three cases in which patients presented with meningitis caused by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia post neurosurgical procedure.
