title: Osteomyelitis caused by Enterobacter cancerogenus infection following a traumatic injury: case report and review of the literature.
abstract: We report a case of osteomyelitis caused by Enterobacter cancerogenus resistant to aminopenicillins in a 56-year-old male who had a motorcycle accident and suffered from multiple bone fractures with abundant environmental exposure. E. cancerogenus has rarely been associated with human infections, and its clinical significance remains unclear.
