Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and Haemophilus influenzae are the most common pathogens of haematogenous osteomyelitis. Aerobic and facultative gram-negative bacteria have emerged as significant pathogens in some types of osteomyelitis while anaerobic bacteria are increasingly recognized as potential pathogens in non-haematogenous osteomyelitis. The emergence of antibiotic resistance is of increasing concern, although improvements in radiologic imaging, antibiotic treatment and heightened awareness have led to earlier detection such that long-term sequelae and morbidity are now primarily due to delays in diagnosis and inadequate treatment","Mousa, H.A.","2003","208-214","EMHJ - Eastern Mediterranean Health Journal, 9 (1-2), 208-214, 2003","en","Osteomyelitis::Osteomyelitis::600","Acute Disease||Age Distribution||Amputation||Anti-Bacterial Agents||Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal||Bacterial Infections||Chronic Disease||Combined Modality Therapy||Debridement||Morbidity||Soft Tissue Infections","Bone infection","2014-06-17T11:22:41Z","2014-06-17T11:22:41Z","1020-3397","http://applications.emro.who.int/emhj/0901_2/emhj_2003_9_1_2_208_214.pdf","https://iris.who.int/handle/10665/119265"
