title = "Molecular identification of Leuconostoc mesenteroides as a cause of brain abscess in an immunocompromised patient",
abstract = "Leuconostoc species are emerging pathogens that can cause severe infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Using molecular methods, we identified Leuconostoc mesenteroides as the cause of a brain abscess which was successfully treated by surgery and antimicrobial treatment. This is the first report of brain abscess caused by this species.",
