Spondylodiscitis caused by Bordetella holmesii, a misrecognized pathogen emerging in invasive infections.

We report a case of spondylodiscitis caused by Bordetella holmesii, an emergent pathogen. This small Gram-negative rod was first known as a cause of invasive infections on asplenic patients. This case describes a spondylodiscitis due to this bacterium in an immunocompetent patient.
