ABSTRACT
Vertebral osteomyelitis or paraspinal abscess caused by Serratia species is rare and has been reported only in certain groups of people, such as intravenous drug users, immunocompromised hosts, and patients who have undergone invasive procedures. However, we report here that Serratia was recovered from a patient with vertebral osteomyelitis and epidural abscess without predisposing factors. The organism was initially identified as Serratia liquefaciens by a Vitek II-based assessment. It was finally identified as Serratia grimesii by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. We present the first case of vertebral osteomyelitis caused by S. grimesii in a patient without risk factors and who was managed successfully.
