JF Journal of Medical Microbiology, VO 58 IS 12 SP 1652 OP 1656 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/jmm.0.013367-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1473-5644, AB A case is reported of cerebellar abscess and diffuse cerebritis due to Gemella morbillorum. The clinical course was ‘biphasic’, developing with an acute meningeal infection followed shortly afterwards by suppuration in the cerebellar and cerebral parenchyma; this pattern seemed to suggest a latent survival of the aetiological agent, probably within the central nervous system (CNS), despite systemic antibiotic therapy. Based upon a review of cases so far described, infections of the CNS caused by G. morbillorum appear to be an emerging reality., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/jmm.0.013367-0
