Neisseria sicca, a rare pathogen, caused vertebral osteomyelitis after a back injury. This study details its characteristics and antibiotic susceptibility, marking the first report of bone infection by this bacterium.

Area of Science:

Microbiology
Infectious Diseases
Orthopedics

Background:

Vertebral osteomyelitis is a serious bone infection.
Neisseria sicca is a commensal bacterium rarely associated with human disease.

Observation:

A male patient developed vertebral osteomyelitis following a nonpenetrating traumatic back injury.
Neisseria sicca was isolated as the causative agent.

Findings:

The study presents the identification characteristics of Neisseria sicca.
Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns for this isolate are detailed.
This is the first reported case of Neisseria sicca causing osteomyelitis.

Implications:

Highlights Neisseria sicca as a potential pathogen in bone infections.
