- A member of the genus described is a Gram-positive cocci that can be part of normal oral flora but may cause infections, particularly in patients with poor oral hygiene.
- A 78-year-old man exhibited severe neck and back pain, leading to an MRI that indicated infectious spondylitis at the C3-C4 level with abscess formation.
- During surgery, pus samples revealed the presence of the bacteria, marking the first documented case of infective spondylitis caused by this organism.
Article Abstract
, a member of the genus , is a facultatively anaerobic, Gram-positive cocci. is a component of normal oral flora; however, it can become pathogenic and cause infections in patients with poor oral hygiene. A 78-year-old man was admitted to a hospital with a complaint of increasing posterior neck pain and lower back pain for 2 weeks.
