We report a case of community-acquired meningitis due to A. baumannii. The case highlights the potential pathogenicity of this organism and raises concerns that this highly adaptable organism may soon evolve into a significant community pathogen, too. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/jmm.0.47781-0
