“…Based on previous literature review, osteomyelitis caused by E. aerogenes and S. marcescens is extremely rare in adults without drug infusion or other direct exposures [8][9][10]. Osteomyelitis caused by S. marcesces after leg or spinal surgery, or gunshot wounds is often reported, but a case of osteomyelitis caused by S. marcescens after oral and maxillofacial surgery has been found in only one paper, but none of osteomyelitis by E. aerogenes were found [11][12][13][14][15].…”

Osteomyelitis is an inflammatory condition of the bone caused by pathogenic bacteria. The causative pathogen is usually oral residing bacteria, but this is a report of patients with osteomyelitis infected with Enterobacteriaceae, which is not common. Enterobacteriaceae has been known to cause in-hospital infections for over last 30 years and is known to have multiple antibiotic resistances. Both cases in this study developed osteomyelitis after removal of the dentigerous cyst. Enterobacter aerogenes was cultured in one patient and Serratia marcescens in the other. After changing antibiotics through antibiotic susceptibility testing, clinical symptoms subsided and radiographic images confirmed that the callus formed and recovered at the same time.
