It can be responsible for heterogeneous infections such as bacteremia, endocarditis, pneumonia, acute otitis externa, peritonitis, and urinary tract infections. Bone and joint infections due toS. capraehave also been reported, but most of them resulted from the infection of orthopedic devices, especially joint prostheses and internal osteosynthesis devices. Rare cases of primary osteoarticular infections caused byS. capraehave been described, including osteitis, arthritis, or spondylodiscitis. Case summary: We report an unusual case of subacute osteomyelitis in a toe phalanx caused byS. capraein a 14.5-year-old girl. Conclusion: SubacuteS. capraeosteomyelitis is a little-known and probably underestimated community-acquired infectious disease. This microorganism's pathogenicity should be seen as more than a classic nosocomial orthopedic device infection.
