Abstract

Abstract. Actinomyces viscosus is an oral bacterium that is rarely virulent in humans, with most case presentations involving dental and maxillofacial infections. We describe the first reported case of A. viscosus vertebral osteomyelitis in a patient who had a significant response to penicillin after minimal response to cephalosporin therapy.
