摘要
Herein described is a case of biofilm obstructing ventriculoperitoneal shunt due to infection in a patient with coccidioidal meningitis. infects and obstructs cerebral shunts by the production of biofilm; however, diagnosis is usually missed by routine aerobic cultures.

Penicillin G is the first-line treatment.
