First reported case of Rothia dentocariosa spondylodiscitis in an immunocompetent patient

Rothia dentocariosa is part of the normal human oropharyngeal microflora and is frequently associated with dental caries and periodontal disease. Invasive disease has been described essentially in immunocompromised hosts and/or patients with underlying conditions as predisposing factors. We present...

description Rothia dentocariosa is part of the normal human oropharyngeal microflora and is frequently associated with dental caries and periodontal disease. Invasive disease has been described essentially in immunocompromised hosts and/or patients with underlying conditions as predisposing factors. We present a case of an otherwise healthy 46-years old male with spondylodiscitis caused by this pathogen. Treatment with ceftriaxone and rifampin was successful. To our knowledge, this is the first R. dentocariosa spondylodiscitis reported in an immunocompetent patient, and the second one in the literature overall.
