Overview
The etiology of osteomyelitis include a wide range of microbes, organized based on prevalence in patients of different age groups.
Causes
Etiolgic agents of osteomyelitis can be classified in several ways.
Etiologies based on age group
Age group | Most common organisms |
Newborns (younger than 4 mo) | S. aureus, Enterobacter species, and group A and B Streptococcus species |
Children (aged 4 mo to 4 y) | S. aureus, group A Streptococcus species, Haemophilus influenzae, and Enterobacter species |
Children, adolescents (aged 4 y to adult) | S. aureus (80%), group A Streptococcus species, H. influenzae, and Enterobacter species |
Adult | S. aureus and occasionally Enterobacter or Streptococcus species |
Microbiology based on prevalence
