Case report shows vascular graft infection and osteomyelitis in immunocompetent patient, suggesting its rare pathogenicity.
Bordetella holmesii is a fastidious Gram‐negative coccobacillus that was first isolated in 1983. It is an infrequent human pathogen, predominantly limited to asplenic and other immunocompromised hosts. We describe herein the first reported case of vascular graft infection caused by B. holmesii with concomitant native vertebral osteomyelitis in an immunocompetent patient.
