Popis: Infectious spondylodiscitis is an uncommon disease, often diagnosed late. The main pathogen is Staphylococcus aureus. We report a case of spondylodiscitis diagnosed early, caused by Moraxella lacunata, a Gram-negative bacillus of usually low pathogenicity for man. A combination of amoxicillin 12 g/day IV then per os, and ciprofloxacine 1,500 mg/day per os was given for 8 weeks. Evolution was favorable.
