A case of osteomyelitis associated with Edwardsiella tarda is reported. Specimens from a wound exudate of a 58-year-old female with osteomyelitis revealed on a direct gram-stained smear, pleomorphic, gram-negative rods. Growth of the organism on differential media and analysis of its Analytab (API)(*) patterns produced results consistent with E. tarda. The identification of the organism was confirmed by the Center for Disease Control, Atlanta. This represents the first reported case of a wound infection attributable to this organism.
报告了一例与迟缓爱德华氏菌相关的骨髓炎病例。从一名患有骨髓炎的58岁女性伤口渗出物中采集的标本，经直接革兰氏染色涂片显示为多形性革兰氏阴性杆菌。该菌在鉴别培养基上生长，并对其Analytab（API）（*）模式进行分析，结果与迟缓爱德华氏菌一致。该菌的鉴定得到了亚特兰大疾病控制中心的确认。这是该菌所致伤口感染的首例报道病例。
