Clostridium cadaveris Osteomyelitis: an Unusual Pathogen which Highlights the Importance of Deep Tissue Sampling in Chronic Osteomyelitis

Clostridium cadaveris, named following its identification in human corpses, is an unusual pathogen. We report the first case of C. cadaveris osteomyelitis. This case highlights the importance of deep tissue sampling and appropriate culture to correctly identify causative pathogens and guide targeted...

description Clostridium cadaveris, named following its identification in human corpses, is an unusual pathogen. We report the first case of C. cadaveris osteomyelitis. This case highlights the importance of deep tissue sampling and appropriate culture to correctly identify causative pathogens and guide targeted antimicrobial therapy in difficult-to-treat infections like chronic osteomyelitis.
