The increasing prevalence of pyogenic spondylitis in older adults is primarily driven by Staphylococcus aureus. Cases caused by anaerobic bacteria are rare. This report focuses on a 71-year-old man diagnosed with spondylitis due to an anaerobic bacterial infection. The causative pathogen—Parvimonas micra—is typically found in the oral cavity. Interestingly, the patient had undergone a tooth extraction before the diagnosis. He was successfully treated with antibiotics; therefore, surgery was not necessary. This case is notable for the uncommon infective organism and, along with a concise literature review, this report provides valuable insights for the medical community.
