(SC) is a species of belonging to the group, along with and . Despite its commensal nature, underlying risk factors and medical conditions might lead to various anatomic site infections caused by this opportunistic pathogen. Although SC infections have mostly been associated with bacteremia, some case reports of abscess and empyema formation have been documented. Herein, we report a case of a middle-aged female patient who initially presented with radiculopathy symptoms. Subsequent neurologic imaging revealed a pyogenic abscess along paravertebral muscles, which was found to be caused by SC. The patient was successfully treated with abscess drainage from the lumbar zone and antibiotics, and the symptoms of radiculopathy have completely resolved.
（SC）是与[其他两种菌]一起属于[某菌属]的一种细菌。尽管其具有共生性质，但潜在的危险因素和医疗状况可能导致由这种机会性病原体引起的各种解剖部位感染。虽然SC感染大多与菌血症有关，但也有一些关于脓肿和脓胸形成的病例报告。在此，我们报告一例中年女性患者，最初表现为神经根病症状。随后的神经影像学检查发现椎旁肌肉有一个化脓性脓肿，经检测是由SC引起的。该患者通过腰椎区域的脓肿引流和抗生素治疗成功治愈，神经根病症状已完全缓解。
