Abstract

We report a case of spondylodiscitis due toStreptococcus dysgalactiaesubsp.equisimilisspreading from infected leg ulcers. The route of infection could be unequivocally demonstrated by culturing identical isolates from leg wounds, blood culture and intra-surgery specimens from the spine. The present case illustrates the pathogenic potential of group G streptococci also for non-diabetic adults.
