It causes infections such as sepsis in humans. In adults, these are usually vancomycin resistant cases. We present a rare case of vancomycin-resistant <i>E. casseliflavus </i> meningitis in a 17-months-old girl who has been successfully treated with linezolid. The patient completely recovered after fourteen days of linezolid treatment. Vancomycin-resistant <i>E. casseliflavus </i> may be a potential pathogenic cause of meningitis in children with good clinical outcome by linezolid treatment. Linezolid therapy should be considered in children cases when vancomycin therapy failed.  <o:p> </o:p> </span> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Harran University}
