    This study details a vertebral osteomyelitis case caused by Peptostreptococcus micros. Six weeks of intravenous clindamycin successfully eradicated the infection.

    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Vertebral osteomyelitis is a serious spinal infection.
    • Peptostreptococcus micros is a less common cause of osteomyelitis.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with vertebral osteomyelitis.
    • Peptostreptococcus micros was identified in lumbar vertebral biopsies.
    • No other concurrent infections were detected in the patient.

    Findings:

    • The causative agent, Peptostreptococcus micros, was confirmed through culture and histology.
    • Intravenous clindamycin treatment was administered for six weeks.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights Peptostreptococcus micros as a potential pathogen in vertebral osteomyelitis.
