Spinal infections due to Eikenella corrodens: Case report and literature review

[en] L’infection spinale à Eikenella corrodens est rare. Cet article rapporte un cas d’infection à E. corrodens survenu plus de deux ans après chirurgie cervicale. Par ailleurs, nous analysons les autres cas publiés d’infections spinales à E. corrodens. Les caractéristiques principales de ce germe sont décrites et, compte tenu des difficultés d’isolement de cette bactérie en culture standard, nous discutons les outils diagnostiques.
