Novel Use of Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing in Diagnosing Streptococcus intermedius Meningitis and Ventriculitis: A Case Report and Literature Review

Herein, we report a rare case of meningitis and ventriculitis caused by <i>S. intermedius</i> using metagenomic next-generation sequencing. The patient recovered well after antibiotic treatment and surgery. We present this rare case and summarize previous studies to remind clinicians that timely identification of the pathogen and optimal treatment are crucial for management of <i>S. intermedius</i>-induced infections.
