Abstract

Bacteria of the genus Campylobacter are important causes of enteritis in humans. Even though a number of extraintestinal infections caused by Campylobacter fetus have been reported to date, surgical site infections with C. fetus are a rare entity and their therapeutic care is not consensual. We present a case of femoral infection with Campylobacter fetus successfully treated with the association amoxicillin-clindamycin despite the extended resistance phenotype of the strain.
