Purpose of study

The aim of this study was to identify the incidence of Gram negative bacterial vertebral osteomyelitis (VO) within our unit during a 3-year study period and evaluate if this corresponds to published evidence that the occurrence is increasing.

Methods

Between May 2007 and May 2010, all patients, over the age of 18 years, suffering from Gram-negative VO were identified and their microbiological diagnoses were evaluated. All patients were treated within a large tertiary spinal surgery unit in Leeds.
