Puncture wound osteochondritis of the foot caused by CDC group Vd

W J Barson et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1987 Oct.

Abstract

A case of puncture wound osteochondritis of the foot caused by CDC group Vd is presented because of the unusual nature of the infecting organism. This organism may be confused with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the usual pathogen responsible for this type of infection, but does not have a similar antimicrobial susceptibility profile. For this reason, it is important to obtain appropriate culture specimens and to identify and test the susceptibility of bacterial isolates from cases of puncture wound-associated osteochondritis so that optimal therapeutic regimens can be determined.
