    Hemophilus aphrophilus caused vertebral osteomyelitis after a lip laceration. This rare bacterial infection was successfully treated with parenteral penicillin, and antimicrobial susceptibilities were determined.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Bacteriology

    Background:

    • Gram-negative bacilli, including Hemophilus aphrophilus, are increasingly recognized as potential pathogens.
    • Hematogenous vertebral osteomyelitis is a serious condition often requiring prolonged treatment.

    Observation:

    • A case of vertebral osteomyelitis caused by Hemophilus aphrophilus following a lip laceration is presented.
    • The patient's infection was successfully treated with parenteral penicillin.

    Findings:

    • Hemophilus aphrophilus, a slow-growing, aerobic, capnophilic gram-negative bacillus, was identified as the causative agent.
    • Antimicrobial susceptibility data for 14 agents against this isolate are provided.

    Implications:
