  • Title: Intervertebral infection caused by Streptococcus milleri. A case report.
    Author: Jacobs JA, Pietersen HG, Walenkamp GH, Stobberingh EE, Soeters PB.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1994 May; (302):183-8. PubMed ID: 8168298.
    Abstract:
    Intervertebral infection caused by Streptococcus milleri is described in a 45-year-old man. Initially, a tuberculous infection was suspected; this diagnosis resulted in a considerable delay in correct diagnosis and treatment. The patient recovered well with combined medical-surgical treatment. Streptococcus milleri, a common inhabitant of the gastrointestinal tract, comprises a variety of strains implicated in deep-seated purulent infections. Although reports of this are rare, S. milleri can be the offending organism in intervertebral disk infections.
