  • Title: Vertebral osteomyelitis secondary to Streptococcus agalactiae.
    Author: Fasano FJ, Graham DR, Stauffer ES.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1990 Jul; (256):101-4. PubMed ID: 2142032.
    Abstract:
    Vertebral osteomyelitis due to hematogenous seeding of Streptococcus agalactiae occurred in a 29-year-old farmer. The patient was treated with immobilization and parenteral antibiotics but developed recurrent back pain requiring a posterior spinal fusion. In a review of the literature, Group B streptococcal vertebral osteomyelitis seems not to have been previously reported in an adult.
