Abstract
Serratia plymuthica was isolated from the sinus tract and from the infected bone in a case of chronic osteomyelitis following an accident of a motorcyclist. This is the second case in which S. plymuthica was a significant pathogen. Previously, a case of S. plymuthica sepsis associated with infection of a central venous catheter was described.
