Vertebral Osteomyelitis Due to Granulicatella Adiacens, a Nutritionally Variant Streptococci.

Jonathan York1, Christian Fisahn2, Jens Chapman3.   

Abstract

Vertebral osteomyelitis is a common pathology affecting the spine. We present the case of a 46-year-old male who was diagnosed with progressive L2 vertebral osteomyelitis due to a rare pathogen, Granulicatella adiacens. Granulicatella adiacens is part of the normal body flora and is often difficult to culture on traditional mediums. The patient required a lateral corpectomy and posterior fixation for spinal stabilization and source control.
